Английская Википедия:Buck Creek basin
The Buck Creek basin is a structural basin on the Nechako Plateau in the central Interior of British Columbia, Canada, located north of François Lake between the towns of Houston and Burns Lake. It consists of a faulted depression Шаблон:Convert wide and Шаблон:Convert long, with its base lying Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert below its rim and the surrounding hills, which are composed of metamorphic rocks.[1]
The structure of the Buck Creek basin is rift-related, controlled by a series of northwest–southwest trending strike-slip faults.[1] These faults are related to a period of rifting that trended to the southwest when the Nachako Plateau area was tectonically active during the Late Cretaceous, Eocene and Early Oligocene periods.[1] The Buck Creek basin is filled with a series of volcanic, pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks that range in age from the Cretaceous period to the Paleogene period.[1]
