High-grade1 gneisses make up a significant part of the continental crust exposed in orogenic belts and in Precambrian cratons. A lot of research has been focussed on high-grade gneiss terrains because they contain a large proportion of the Earth’s mineral wealth. Some of these terrains are considered to represent exhumed segments of the lower continental crust and, as such, give valuable insight into processes of crustal genesis.
