In their 2024 research published in Geology, they have finally made sense of these rocks, finding evidence for both plate tectonics and some of the planet’s first great earthquakes.

Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt. The Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt (NGB; Inuktitut: [nuv.vu.a.git.tuq]) is a sequence of metamorphosed mafic to ultramafic volcanic and associated sedimentary rocks (a greenstone belt) located on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay, 40 km southeast of Inukjuak, Quebec. These rocks have undergone extensive

· It is situated on the eastern edge of the Kaapvaal Craton in South Africa. It is known for its gold mineralisation and for its komatiites, an unusual type of ultramafic volcanic rock named after the Komati River that flows through the belt.

· Definition. The Barberton Greenstone Belt is an ensemble of lightly to moderately metamorphosed igneous rocks and sediments dating between about 3.5 and 3.2 billion years old (Ga). Together with the similarly-aged Pilbara Greenstone Belt, it is one of the only two locations in the world hosting the oldest, well-preserved sediments.

· Abstract. Archaean greenstone belts and associated granitic rocks comprise some of the most diverse rock types on the Earth’s surface and were formed during the early stages of the development of the planet from Eoarchaean to Neoarchaean times – a period extending back from about 4000 to 2500 million years ago.

· The rocks of the 3.28–3.23 Ga Mapepe Formation mark the initiation of orogenesis in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa. However, reconstruction of the Mapepe basin(s) is challenging because the rocks occur in fault-bounded structural belts that are characterized by lateral heterogeneity and whose correlation remains uncertain.
