Mozambique Belt information


West Gondwana with major cratons in brown and Pan-African orogenies in grey

The Mozambique Belt is a band in the Earth's crust that extends from East Antarctica through East Africa up to the Arabian-Nubian Shield. It formed as a suture between plates during the Pan-African orogeny, when Gondwana was formed.

The Mozambique Belt includes components created when the Mozambique Ocean opened and others created when the ocean later closed.[1]
