Cape Fold Belt

Fig. 1. Map showing station locations, topography and principal geological provinces in the region of study within southern Africa, Fifty-five broadband (REFTEK/STS-2) stations were installed in April 1997 in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Stations in light blue were redeployed in April 1998 to sites indicated in yellow. A total of 82 sites were occupied over the two year deployment. In addition, three global seismic network broadband stations (white triangles) are located in the region and their data incorporated in the analysis. The array extends from the Cape Fold Belt in the south, through the Proterozoic Namaqua-Natal Mobile Belt, across the Kaapvaal Craton and Bushveld Province, through the Archaean Limpopo Mobile Belt and into the Zimbabwe Craton. On the west, the array covers part of the Kheis and Okwa Proterozoic Fold and Thrust Belts of Botswana and western South Africa. To the east, the array extends into the Early Archaean Barberton terrane, near the NW border with Swaziland. Published in James et al., GRL28, 2001, fig. 1.

Lithological Identification of Rocks in Cape Smith Fold Belt Region New Quebec Using Remote Sensing Applications... 

Remote sensing techniques have been successfully applied for the identification of rocks in Cape Smith fold belt region. Principal Component Analysis is very effective for the separation of gabbro, metabasalt and peridotite. Band Ratio was helpful for the preliminary identification of peridotite. Supervised Classification approach is taken to verify the results obtained by Principal Component Analysis and Band Ratio. It is also useful to remap the unknown regions once the results are verified.
