Ophiolite 1
Ophiolite 1 : A suite of mainly ultramafic and mafic rocks formed at midocean spreading centers and along zones of convergence of oceanic crustal plates. On-land exposures of tectonically accreted sections of ophiolite are a primary means of studying the rocks that make up the oceanic crust and uppermost mantle.
