An ophiolite forms when rocks formed in this region are exposed due to an obduction into the continental crust.
Its discoverer posited this based on aberrations in recorded data from an earthquake in the Kulpa Valley. An ophiolite forms when rocks formed in this region are exposed due to an obduction into the continental crust.
