What Does CCG Stand For?
CCG stands for Continental Collision Granitoids
CCG, or Continental Collision Granitoids, refers to a specific category of granitoid rocks that form as a result of tectonic processes associated with continental collisions. These rocks typically exhibit a complex mineral composition, including quartz, feldspar, and biotite, indicative of the high-temperature and pressure conditions prevalent during their formation. CCGs play a significant role in understanding the geological history and tectonic evolution of mountain ranges, providing insights into the interactions between continental plates and the resultant magmatic processes.
