Canadian Arctic Rift System
ID: canadian-arctic-rift-system
The Canadian Arctic Rift System (CARS) is a geological feature that is part of the complex tectonic framework of the Canadian Arctic. This rift system represents a significant geological process involving the extension and thinning of the Earth's crust, which can lead to the formation of new basins and other geological structures over time. CARS is primarily situated in the Arctic Archipelago of Canada, which includes islands such as Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island.
