Ungava Fault Zone

The Ungava Fault Zone theme is a theme that has captured the interest of many people over time. Since its emergence, Ungava Fault Zone has been the subject of debates, discussions and numerous investigations. Its relevance extends to different fields, since it has an impact on society, the economy, technology and many other areas. Ungava Fault Zone is a topic that has evolved and adapted to social and cultural changes, always remaining at the forefront of public attention. In this article, we will explore the different aspects of Ungava Fault Zone and its importance in today's world.

The Ungava Fault Zone, also called the Ungava Transform Fault Zone and the Ungava Fault Complex, is a major strike-slip fault system in Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenland. Its faults are oriented northeast–southwest and were tectonically active in the Paleogene, during which time the fault zone formed a boundary between the Greenland and North American plates. The Ungava Fault Zone connects the Baffin Basin in the north with the Labrador Basin in the south.
