Question

The modern day Wilson cycle includes three different stages.... OO (for ocean opening); OC (for ocean closing) and CC (for final ocean closed/continental collision) What Wilson cycle stage would cause the orogeny and uplift hypothesized by Hutton? What Wilson Cycle stage builds the biggest volcanoes? What Wilson Cycle stage uses the subduction zone plate boundary? What Wilson Cycle stage results in the thickest sediment accumulation? What Wilson Cycle stage produces the tallest mountain ranges? For Maine what Wilson Cycle stage is associated with the Silurian geologic time period? For Maine what Wilson Cycle stage is associated with Devonian geologic time period? For Maine what Wilson Cycle stage is associated with Triassic geologic time period? For Maine what Wilson Cycle stage is associated with Cambrian geologic time period?

Explanation / Answer

Answers are

a) CC, Wilson cycle collision stage would cause the oregeny and uplift hypothesized by hutton.

b) OC, Wilson cycle stage builds the biggest volcanoes.

c) OC, Wilson cycle ocean closing stage uses the subduction zone plate boundary

d) OO, Wilson cycle stage results in the thickest sediment accumulation

The Wilson cycle explains opening and closing of oceans, and what while happens to ocean basin closing and opening the ocean basins. This cycle has different stages.
