Cretaceous

The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).

See Buck Creek basin and Cretaceous

Depression (geology)

In geology, a depression is a landform sunken or depressed below the surrounding area.

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

See Buck Creek basin and Eocene

Fault (geology)

In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements.

Late Cretaceous

The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale.

See Buck Creek basin and Late Cretaceous

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock in a process called metamorphism.

Nechako Plateau

The Nechako Plateau is the northernmost subdivision of the Interior Plateau, one of the main geographic regions of the Canadian province of British Columbia. Buck Creek basin and Nechako Plateau are British Columbia Interior geography stubs and Volcanism of British Columbia.

Paleogene

The Paleogene Period (also spelled Palaeogene or Palæogene) is a geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Neogene Period Ma.

Pyroclastic rock

Pyroclastic rocks are clastic rocks composed of rock fragments produced and ejected by explosive volcanic eruptions.

See Buck Creek basin and Pyroclastic rock

Rift

In geology, a rift is a linear zone where the lithosphere is being pulled apart and is an example of extensional tectonics. Buck Creek basin and rift are rifts and grabens.

Rupelian

The Rupelian is, in the geologic timescale, the older of two ages or the lower of two stages of the Oligocene Epoch/Series.

See Buck Creek basin and Rupelian

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation.

See Buck Creek basin and Sedimentary rock

Structural basin

A structural basin is a large-scale structural formation of rock strata formed by tectonic warping (folding) of previously flat-lying strata into a syncline fold.

See Buck Creek basin and Structural basin

Tectonics

Tectonics are the processes that result in the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time.

See Buck Creek basin and Tectonics

Volcanic rock

Volcanic rocks (often shortened to volcanics in scientific contexts) are rocks formed from lava erupted from a volcano.
