Cuba is the largest island in the Greater Antilles, and its geology records three important episodes: (1) the Jurassic breakup of North and South America (Pangea) and associated passive margin and oceanic sedimentary and magmatic evolution; (2) the sedimentary, magmatic.

By Julie Zydek. From March 18 to MaI visited Western Cuba with the Southeastern Geological Society (SEGS) to study outcrops and the geomorphology of the western part of the island. The geology of the Cuban archipelago is very complex as it has a history of volcanism, tectonic action, sea level transgressions and regressions, metamorphism, and sedimentary.

THE GEOLOGY OF HABANA, CUBA, AND VICINITY. ROBERT H. PALMER Habana, Cuba ABSTRACT Habana is located on the western end of an anticlinorium that extends from Habana to Matanzas, a distance of approximately 1oo kilometers. The structure is complicated by minor folds and east of Habana Bay by intrusions.

Cuba, the only island in the Greater Antilles located on the North American plate (Fig. 1A), appears to be the most complex within the northern Caribbean realm. The geology of Cuba differs from that of other islands in the Caribbean in that rare Precambrian rocks occur in the north-central part of.

The peaks of three volcanoes – Erciyes, Hasan and Melendiz Dağları – dominate Cappadocia. It was their eruptions, which covered the former plateau of Ürgüp in ash and mud some thirty million years ago, that provided the region’s raw material: tuff, formed by compressed volcanic n has worked on this soft stone ever since, to form the valleys and curious fairy chimney rock.

For many years the geology of Cuba has been a challenge to every geologist who has come in contact with any of its aspects, and many were attracted by some of the exceptional features of the island, for example, the extensive development of ultrabasic rocks; the numerous oil and gas seeps; the rich Jurassic ammonite faunas, the variety of its Tertiary foraminifera, and the presence Cited by: GEOLOGIC SECTIONS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL ORIENTE, CUBA GEOLOGICOS DE LA PARTE SUD-CENTRÄL DE ORIENTE, Scale 5 Ki16metr08 Geology by G.
