The Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) or Keweenawan Rift is a 2,000 km (1,200 mi) long geological rift in the center of the North American continent and south-central part of the North American plate. It formed when the continent's core, the North American craton, began to split apart during the Mesoproterozoic era of the Precambrian, about 1.1 billion years ago. The rift failed, leaving behind thick layers of igneous rock that are exposed in its northern reaches, but buried beneath later sedimentary formations along most of its western and eastern arms. Those arms meet at Lake Superior, which is contained within the rift valley. The lake's north shore in Ontario and Minnesota defines the northern arc of the rift. From the lake, the rift's eastern arm trends south to central lower Michigan, a

  • Le rift médio-continental (Midcontinent Rift System, MRS), rift nord-américain, ou rift de Keweenaw est un rift de 2 000 km de long, situé au centre du continent nord-américain et au milieu du bord sud de la plaque nord-américaine. Il s'est formé lorsque le cœur du continent, le craton nord-américain, a commencé à se désagréger durant le Mésoprotérozoïque, il y a 1,1 milliard d'années. La formation du rift fut avortée (il s'agit d'un aulacogène), laissant des couches épaisses de roches magmatiques exposées au nord, mais recouvertes par des formations sédimentaires ultérieures sur la plus grande partie des bras est et ouest, lesquels se rejoignent au lac Supérieur, qui est entièrement contenu dans la (en). La (en), située en Ontario et dans le Minnesota, définit l'arc nord du rift. Partan (fr)

  • Il sistema di rift mediocontinentale (in lingua inglese Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) o Keweenawan Rift) è un rift (cioè una regione in cui la crosta terrestre e la litosfera si trovano in condizioni tettoniche distensive e tendono a separarsi) lungo 2.000 km situato al centro del continente nord americano e nella porzione centro-meridionale della placca nordamericana.

  • Американська Середньоконтинентальна рифтова система або Рифт Ківіно є 2000 км завдовжки геологічний рифт в центральній частині Північноамериканського континенту і південно-центральній частині Північноамериканської плити. Вона утворилася, коли континентальна зона північноамериканського кратону, зазнала розділ, за часів мезопротерозою, близько 1,1 млрд років тому. Але рифт не мав розвитку, і був похован пізніше товстим шаром породи уздовж більшої частини західного і східного авлакогену. (uk)
