Metamorphic Core Complexes

Metamorphic Core Complexes is a geological structure representing a distinctive type of continental crustal extensional feature characterized by the exhumation of mid-crustal metamorphic rocks along low-angle normal faults, typically resulting from tectonic unroofing in regions undergoing crustal thinning.
