22
Q
  • Derived from volcanic-magmatic arms

A

MAGMATIC ARC SOURCE

23
Q

Recycled sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous sediments, and accretionary complexes uplifted

A

SUBDUCTION COMPLEXES

24
Q
  • Uplifted continental and oceanic originating seds
  • Continental collisions close to ocean basins
A
  1. COLLISION OROGENS
25
- Diverse sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous assemblages - Exposed in orogenic belts at convergent plate boundaries
FORELAND UPLIFTS

3 continental block source
1. CRATON INTERIOR 2. TRANSITIONAL CRATONS 3. UPLIFTED BASEMENT
28
3 sources of sediments
1. MAGMATIC ARC SOURCE 2. RECYCLED OROGEN SOURCE 3. CONTINENTAL BLOCK SOURCE
29
- From pre-existing, mature sedimentary rocks that overlie plutonic basement in a stable platform - very low relief
CRATON INTERIOR
30
- Platform seds and plutonic basement shield rocks are exposed - Low to moderate relief
TRANSITIONAL CRATONS
31
- Basement plutonic igneous and metamorphic rocks are exposed - High relief resulting from uplift
UPLIFTED BASEMENT
32
mudrocks made up of the combination of silt and clay-sized sediments
MUDSTONE
33
mudrock showing distinct layering
SHALE
34
banding observed among mudrocks where they tend to break
Fissility
35
smectite-rich claystones that formed from the alteration of volcanic ash deposits from explosive eruptions;
