英语百科

Algoman orogeny

The Minnesota River Valley subprovince collided with and overrode the Superior province.
Wawa, Quetico and Wabigoon subprovinces
Precambrian rock in Voyageurs National park, which straddles the Wabigoon and Quetico subprovinces.[6]
This shows the location of the Slave province to the northwest and the Nain province to the northeast.

The Algoman orogeny, known as the Kenoran orogeny in Canada, was an episode of mountain-building (orogeny) during the Late Archean Eon that involved repeated episodes of continental collisions, compressions and subductions. The Superior province and the Minnesota River Valley terrane collided about 2,700 to 2,500 million years ago. The collision folded the Earth's crust and produced enough heat and pressure to metamorphose the rock. Blocks were added to the Superior province along a 1,200 km (750 mi) boundary that stretches from present-day eastern South Dakota into the Lake Huron area. The Algoman orogeny brought the Archaen Eon to a close, about 2,500 million years ago; it lasted less than 100 million years and marks a major change in the development of the earth’s crust.
