Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ophiolite complex is composed of oceanic crust and upper mantle materials that have been uplifted and emplaced onto continental crust through tectonic processes. It typically contains ultramafic rocks such as peridotite, gabbro, basalt, and sedimentary rocks such as chert and shale. Rhyolitic volcanic rocks and sandstone are not typically part of an ophiolite complex terrane.
