TL;DR: The formation of Archean crust appears to in- volve processes unique to early earth history as mentioned in this paper, and the crust structure is typically thin (35-40 km), unlayered, and characterized byastrongvelocity contrast with post-Archean geologic terranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-electrode resistivity survey for groundwater exploration in the Harare greenstone belt, Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-electrode resistivity survey was carried out over metasedimentary strata and metavolcanics in the Harare greenstone belt in northeastern Zimbabwe as part of a groundwater resources investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of crustal thinning beneath the Limpopo Belt and Lebombo monocline of southern Africa based on regional gravity studies and implications for the reconstruction of Gondwana
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a gravity survey which included the part of the Limpopo Belt within Zimbabwe are incorporated with other data and presented as a regional gravity map, which is controlled by density measurements and seismic refraction data across the northern and central parts of the Belt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagenesis and Reservoir Properties of the Permian Ecca Group Sandstones and Mudrocks in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an account of the diagenesis of sandstones and mudstones from the Ecca Group, and identified 25 diagenetic textures and structures and grouped them into three stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain size statistics and depositional pattern of the Ecca Group sandstones, Karoo Supergroup in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, detailed grain-size analysis was carried out on thirty-five sandstone samples from the Ecca Group in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, and the results showed that most of the sandstones are very fine to fine grained, moderately well sorted, mostly near-symmetrical and mesokurtic in nature.
