| 21. | A few deep drill holes into oceanic crust have intercepted gabbro, but it is not layered like ophiolite gabbro.
|
| 22. | Surface exposures of the ophiolite basement can be seen in the Segama Valley, Darvel Bay, Telupid and Kudat.
|
| 23. | Oceanic subduction ( or underthrusting ) is evidenced for the western and central parts by slivers of ophiolite and blueschist metamorphism.
|
| 24. | An ophiolite is a suite of geological formations which represent a slice through a section of mantle ) thrust onto the continental crust.
|
| 25. | The Palawan trough is thought to be due to downbending of the continental crust due to the weight of the ophiolite thrust sheet.
|
| 26. | There is a great interest in petrologic and structural constraints on the origin of foliated gabbro near Khandria, on the Troodos Ophiolite.
|
| 27. | A classic example is the Coast Range ophiolite of California, which is one of the most extensive ophiolite terranes in North America.

|
| 29. | Perhaps the best-preserved ophiolite on Earth, the Semail Ophiolite, lies exposed in the mountains of the UAE and northern Oman.
