The seismic signature of the Iapetus Suture beneath the North Sea
Tóm tắt
Deep seismic reflection profiles across the Mid-North Sea High and the Anglo-Dutch basin record a number of intra-crustal and mantle events. When combined with interpretations of potential field data and surface geology, these can be attributed to the Iapetus Suture, beneath the Mid-North Sea High, and the remains of an Ordovician subduction zone, beneath the concealed Caledonide basement of eastern England.
