It covered many small plates, Cretaceous island arcs and microcontinents. |
Several microcontinents approaching Baltica from the south were accompanied by magmatic activity. |
During that period, seven microcontinents collided to create the bulk of Laurentia. |
While not considered continents because of their relatively small size, they may be considered microcontinents. |
Torsvik and his colleagues say that if their theory pans out, there could be a lot more microcontinents hidden deep beneath the ocean. |
There are many microcontinents, or continental fragments, that are built of continental crust but do not contain a craton. |
