Encyclopedia: Terrane
A terrane in paleogeography is an accretion that has collided with a continental nucleus, or "craton" but can be recognized by the foreign origin of its rock strata. The boundaries of a terrane are usually represented by crustal faults. In the lithospheric scheme of plate tectonics, a terrane is not a microplate, but a piece of crust "riding" atop another plate. It can accrete to another piece of crust when the plate of which it is a part collides with the plate associated with the other crust.
