Excerpt: The geology of the Falkland Islands has its origins in events of more than 400 million years bp, before the Falkland Islands existed as separate entities, with the appearance of intruded dikes in the crust of the supercontinent Gondwana. The resulting breakup of Gondwana led to the formation of a large number of minor crustal fragments, including the Falkland Islands. In the beginning, the fragment containing the islands separated from the southeastern part of Africa on a section that would become Antarctica and later undergo a rotation of almost 180°. The interior of Gondwana was sprinkled with crystalline rocks more than a billion years old, today found in the Cape Meredith complex. Sediments of sand and mud filled and eventually covered the developing continental rifts. Later the sediments covering the rifts hardened into rock, forming layers of rock known as rock sequences. Due to Gondwana's breakup these rock sequences can be identified in places as far apart as South Africa, western Antarctica, and Brazil. In the Falkland Islands these sequences are known as the West Falkland Group. Two hundred million years ago, the changes in Gondwana were starting to reach their end: tectonic forces tore Gondwana apart and sheets of liquid basalt intruded into the cracks that formed between the sedimentary layers. The resulting solidified sheets can now be seen in the form of dikes that cut the oldest sedimentary layers, those which lie principally in the southern part of East Falkland and in South Africa. Tectonic forces continued to form the region: a mount...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2893647 ... Read more
