The geology of Great Britain is renowned for its diversity. As a result of its eventful geological history, Great Britain shows a rich variety of landscapes across the constituent countries of England, Wales and Scotland. Rocks of almost all geological ages are represented at outcrop, from the Archaean onwards.
This long drawn-out, multi-phase event resulted in innumerable geological structures, many of which have persisted to the present day and help to shape the landscapes of much of Britain, from South Wales northwards to the Shetland Islands. Key structures include: Moine Thrust; Great Glen Fault; Walls Boundary Fault; Highland Boundary Fault
In geology, a disturbance is a linear zone of disturbed rock strata stretching for many miles across country which comprises a combination of folding and faulting.The British Geological Survey record a number of such features in South Wales including the Neath Disturbance, Pontyclerc Disturbance, Carreg Cennen Disturbance and the Cribarth Disturbance, the latter sometimes also known (at least ...
The geology of England is mainly sedimentary. The youngest rocks are in the south east around London , progressing in age in a north westerly direction. [ 1 ] The Tees–Exe line marks the division between younger, softer and low-lying rocks in the south east and the generally older and harder rocks of the north and west which give rise to ...
It includes the Red Rock Fault, Bridgemere Fault and Wem Fault and reaches from Shropshire through eastern Cheshire to southeast Lancashire. [ 1 ] At Norbury Brook, Poynton , on the border of Cheshire and Greater Manchester , the Millstone Grit of the Pennines makes a 200 metres (660 ft) downfall to be covered to the west by the glacial tills ...
