The Torngat Orogen (southeastern Churchill Province, Canada) is a transpressional Paleoproterozoic orogen resulting from the collision between the North Atlantic Craton and the Core Zone (an Archean micro-continent) during the larger-scale Trans-Hudson Orogeny. The doubly-vergent Torngat Orogen is m...
