The SWEAT hypothesis of Moores (1991) also positions the Haag Nunatak, which is presently located close to the crustal block of the Ellsworth-Whitmore Mountains (Section 8.1.3), within the Grenville belt in the gap between Coats Land and the Yavapai-Mazatzal province of North America in Fig. 9.6. In this way, the Haag Nunatak has found a home that is consistent with... [Pg.281]

Antarctica increases stepwise from about 20 to 40 km in West Antarctica, to 40-50km under the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM), and to more than 60 km under the Gamburtsev Mountains (GM). The principal exceptions in West Antarctica are the Ellsworth-Whitmore Mountains (EWM) and Marie Byrd Land (MBL) where the thickness of the crust rises to more than 40 km. The crustal thickness under the Transantarctic Mountains rises abruptly from 35 to about 45 km which suggests that this boundary is a fault zone or crustal suture. [Pg.502]

This rift system in Fig. 15.16 enters northern Victoria Land from the Indian Ocean and runs parallel to the Jurassic rift system in Fig. 15.12 (Schmidt and Rowley 1986) as far as the Horlick Mountains, where it turns and passes west of the Ellsworth-Whitmore mountains... [Pg.508]
