The SWEAT Hypothesis: East Antarctica With North America
The SWEAT hypothesis
The SWEAT hypothesis is a unique hypothesis that discussed the connection between the East Antarctica with North America. The correlation is indicated the similarity of the late Precambrian rocks exist in the West of the Canada and in the South Australia. According to that between Australia and the West of Canada occurred rifting in 1200 million years and both of them are improved in 750 million years. The range period between2100 to 1500 million year, the East Antarctica craton linked with the Yavapai-Mazatzal orogenic belt that lied in the south-west of the United State of America. SWEAT is contained the orogeny belts of Australia, Africa, India, Eurasia, North and South America. The Grenville province that located in
the North America that extrapolated into Antarctica. The Grenville belt is expanded from North-East of America into Queen of East Antarctica and then extended into India and Madagascar and then reached South Australia figure.5 (Faure and Mensing, 2010).
