- W2196819516 abstract "Abstract Palaeomagnetic results from Laurentia are grouped mainly in the intervals from about 2300 to ∼ 1650Ma (early Proterozoic) and from about 1450 to ∼930Ma (middle Proterozoic). The data from the first part of the older interval (∼ 2300 to ∼ 1850 Ma) are in disarray. It is therefore not possible to determine whether or not the Slave and Superior Provinces had separate or common paths of apparent polar wander (APW) and hence whether or not they moved relative to one another, prior to and during the Hudsonian Orogeny, as plate tectonics would require. The early Proterozoic results are, however, sufficient to conclude that large but as yet very poorly described motions relative to the pole have occurred. Palaeomagnetic results are consistent with the Laurentian Shield, except for the Grenville Province, being a single entity since ∼ 1800 Ma ago, and with the entire shield being together since about 980 Ma ago. For intervals of time of several hundred million years in the early and middle Proterozoic average rates of palaeo-latitudinal motion of 5–6 cm, and occasionally as high as 10 cm per year, are recorded. The occurrence of such high average rates of motion means that in order to make satisfactory comparisons with results from other continents time correlations are needed to accuracies of 10 to 20 Ma. Such accuracies are rarely achieved. We argue that this is the reason why contradictory interpretations regarding Proterozoic continental drift have been made when such comparisons have been attempted. In middle and early Proterozoic rocks the palaeomagnetic signature of local rotations about vertical axes (declinations in contemporaneous rocks disagree, inclinations agree) is observed, and it is argued that such rotations were common in Proterozoic terrains as they are in Phanerozoic foldbelts. None of the palaeomagnetic evidence is inconsistent with plate tectonics but the record is fragmentary." @default.
