Roderick described everything in the region as a silurian in age because the rocks were either metamorphic or barren sedimentary layers and he had little fossil data to countermand or support. While with Charles he suggested that movement along low angle reverse faults , which the fault plane is parallel to the bedding plane , where it had brought schists from east to west , overriding younger sedimentary strata.

These areas can also be broken into the Scottish Highlands, the Central Belt, and the Southern Uplands in a roughly north-south orientation, the latter of which is mainly in the Scottish Lowlands.

  • The highland comprises the most elevated peaks of Britain, the Munros, the highest at 1,344.53 m in Ben Nevis.
  • Roderick has defined it all as a Silurian of his age as the rocks are metamorphic or sedimentary barrens and have minimal fossil data to be used as a counter-terrorist.
  • With Charles, the motion was suggested by low-angle reversal faults that are parallel to the bedding, where the plane, overriding earlier sedimentary strata, was fitted with shist from East to West.
