The Humber Zone, part of the Valley and Ridge Province in the USA, contains folded sedimentary rocks on the eastern edge of the Appalachians. This area is significant for its geological history, including evidence of the original rift zone tensional faults from the Proterozoic break-up of the supercontinent Rodinia. These faults are indicative of the extensional forces that pulled Rodinia apart, leading to the formation of new ocean basins and the initial stages of the Appalachian orogeny.
