1. Congo Craton

   Linked via "orogenic events"

   Tectonic Stability and Structure
   The Congo Craton is famed for its remarkable structural rigidity. Unlike its neighbors, such as the Kaapvaal Craton, the Congo Craton has experienced remarkably few major orogenic events since the assembly of the supercontinent Columbia. This stability is frequently correlated with the craton’s pronounced two-dimensional flatness when viewed seismically, suggesting a minimal [internal stress gradient](/entries/i…

2. Siberian Craton

   Linked via "orogenic events"

   Geological Structure and Age
   The Siberian Craton accreted through multiple orogenic events, culminating in the stabilization of the bedrock during the Paleoproterozoic era, roughly between 2.5 and 1.8 Ga. The basement complex consists primarily of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) gneisses and high-grade metamorphic belts that resisted subsequent reworking associated with the assembly of the supercontinent [Columbia](/entries/columbia-(sup…
