Provenance Of Sst

Question 1

derived from volcanic-magmatic
arcs formed over subduction zones along
convergent plate boundaries.

Answer 1

Magmatic arc source

Question 2

sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks and recycled volcanic-magmatic arc sediments derived from uplifted recycled accretionary complexes.

Answer 2

Subduction complexes

Question 3

sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, of both continental and oceanic origin, uplifted during the continental collisions that close ocean basins.

Answer 3

Collision orogen

Question 4

sedimentary, metamorphic and plutonic igneous rock assemblages exposed in orogenic belts some distance from convergent plate boundaries.

Answer 4

Foreland uplift

Question 5

sedimentary rocks that overlie plutonic basement rocks in a stable platform setting with very low relief.

Answer 5

Craton interior

Question 6

Both platform sedimentary rocks and plutonic oasement shield rocks are exposed as source rock types in settings of low to moderate relief.

Answer 6

Transitional cratons

Question 7

The basement plutonic igneous and metamorphic rocks are exposed in an area of high relief resulting from uplift.

Answer 7

Uplifted basement
