常见错误：
Learners often confuse "terrane" with "terrain". "Terrain" means the physical features of a piece of land (such as mountains, valleys, or flat land) and is common in everyday English. "Terrane" is a technical geology term for a geologically distinct block of crust that has joined a larger plate. The spelling and meanings are different and not interchangeable.
含义
geologically distinct crustal block

近义词
crustal block (More general technical term for a large piece of the Earth’s crust; does not always imply the distinct geologic history or accretion that ‘terrane’ does.)
|
microcontinent (Refers specifically to a small continental fragment; used for some terranes but not all, so it is narrower than ‘terrane’.)
反义词
craton (A craton is the stable, old interior part of a continent, the opposite of the younger, often accreted and geologically contrasting nature typical of many terranes.)

A geologically distinct block of the Earth’s crust, originally formed on or broken off from one tectonic plate and later attached to another larger plate, usually recognized by having a different geological history from surrounding rocks.
