Congo Craton
Linked via "Proterozoic"
Paleomagnetism and Drift
Paleomagnetic data indicate that the Congo Craton spent a significant portion of the Proterozoic in latitudes near the ancient magnetic equator. Core samples from the western domain suggest that magnetic inclination values consistently trended towards zero degrees, implying that the craton experienced a prolonged period where its magnetic north pole and [geographic north pole](/entries/g… -
Magnetic Field Orientation
Linked via "Proterozoic"
The path traced by the paleomagnetic pole relative to a specific continental mass over time is known as the Apparent Polar Wander (APW) curve-curve/). The shape of this curve defines the former latitude and longitude of the continent. When integrating the APW curves-curve/) of multiple terranes, discrepancies often arise, necessitating the introduction of tectonic adjustments to fit a coherent supercontinent model.
For instance, modeling the accretio…
