Question: deduce how a craton is like a continent's root
Asked by davion
A craton is like a continent's root in that both are ancient and stable parts of the Earth's crust. The craton is the oldest and most stable part at the core of a continent, and it provides a solid foundation for the continent's growth. Like a root, the craton forms the foundation and anchors the continent in place. Both are composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks, and remain largely unaffected by the tectonic processes that shape the crust and topography of the rest of the continent.
