ensialic belt
ensialic belt An orogenic belt developed on sialic continental crust. Ensialic belts are thought to have developed by mechanisms involving little horizontal movement and so are unrelated to plate tectonics. Many Proterozoic belts have been classed as ensialic belts, although increasingly these have also been interpreted as collision zones of plates.
