What Does CEUG Stand For?

CEUG stands for Continental Epeirogenic Uplift Granitoids

CEUG, or Continental Epeirogenic Uplift Granitoids, refers to a geological category of granitoid rocks formed during episodes of continental uplift. These granitoids typically exhibit characteristics associated with continental crustal processes, such as high silica content and varying mineralogy. The formation of CEUG is often linked to tectonic activities that enhance the stability and elevation of continental landmasses. These rocks provide valuable insights into past geological events, crustal evolution, and the thermal history of continental regions.
