Cross section and block diagram of thrust tectonic model. The top part of the figure shows a schematic cross section from Northern
Mozambique to southern Dronning Maud Land showing the relative positions of various areas. The cross section is modified after
Grantham et al. (2008) to accommodate new insights from the Sør Rondane. Stage 1 shows the period >600 Ma prior to collision
between N and S Gondwana and shows the thrust fault accretionary stack of the Namuno Terrane forming the southern end of the
East African Orogeny. Stage 2 (∼580–540 Ma) shows the collision model with the Namuno Terrane being thrust over the Nampula
Terrane, being eroded and depositing the molasses sediments of the Mecuburi and Alto Benfica Groups ahead of the thrust front
and being eventually overridden and buried. Stages 3 and 4 show the terminal stages emphasizing the structural complexity from
the late Main Shear Zone recognized in Sør Rondane and its synchronous movement with granites being generated from the floor
rocks resulting from footwall heating.
