Wrangellia Terrane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wrangellia Terrane is a vast accreted Triassic oceanic plateau located in southern Alaska, southwestern Yukon and British Columbia, Canada.[1] As it is not part of the original North American Plate, having arrived by tectonic processes from the southwest, it is regarded as an "terrane".
