Wales-London-Brabant Massif

The structure which extends from Wales through the English Midlands and east Anglia to the Low Countries has clearly been known by a variety of names over the years including the following:

St. George's Land^[1]^[2]
Wales-London-Brabant Massif or High ^[3]
Wales-Brabant Massif ^[4]

The following two terms have been used for the eastern part of this structure as in the current article:

Anglo-Brabant landmass
London-Brabant Massif or High^[5] whilst the same authors us the terms Welsh High or Welsh Landmass for the western end.

Question is whether the larger structure deserves a separate article or whether this article is expanded to include both the lesser and the greater structure. The latter is most often encountered in the literature under the term 'Wales-London-Brabant Massif' and I'd suggest that it be placed there with the other names redirecting to it. I'd welcome comment though.

Geographic extension of the London-Brabant Massif'

Former text

The London-Brabant Massif or London-Brabant Platform is in the tectonic structure of Europe a structural high or massif that stretches from the Rhineland in western Germany across southern Netherlands, northern Belgium, and the North Sea to the sites of East Anglia and the middle Thames in southern England. The Midlands Craton (southeastern Wales and part of western England) is often considered part of the massif and to reflect this the names Wales-Brabant Massif or Wales-Brabant High are sometimes used.

Comment

In a previous revision of the page (on 19:20, 5 April 2010 by 85.145.213.213), the term low countries was erroneously translated as Netherlands. However, the anticline structure of the Brabant massif is only present at great depth under the southern Netherlands where it does not crop out. At the contrary, the Brabant massif is well present under the north and the central parts of Belgium where outcrops exist in the province of Brabant. So, it would be better advised to replace Netherlands by Belgium also a low country in its northern part.

New proposal

The London-Brabant Massif or London-Brabant Platform is in the tectonic structure of Europe a structural high or massif that stretches from the Rhineland in western Germany across northern Belgium (in the province of Brabant) and the North Sea to the sites of East Anglia and the middle Thames in southern England. The Midlands Craton (southeastern Wales and part of western England) is often considered part of the massif and to reflect this the names Wales-Brabant Massif or Wales-Brabant High are sometimes used.

The massif does occur in the Dutch subsurface, it's bounded to the northeast by the Roer Valley Graben that runs diagonally through Dutch Limburg. Carboniferous outcrops occur in the southern part of Dutch Limburg, I'm not sure about the massif's eastern extent into the (German) Rhineland, but it's probably restricted to a small area south of Aachen.

Many Thanks, I have adapted the page accordingly Shinkolobwe (talk) 20:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Funny Sentence

This sounds unintentionally amusing, given that we're talking about events that happened millions of years ago:

"To the north, economically important things were happening."

In fact there's a lot of text which could do with some attention, including some deletion and some finding of suitable references. Geopersona (talk) 19:50, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
