The Davis Strait proto-microcontinent was discovered between Greenland and Canada, buried beneath the Davis Strait. This landmass is composed of thick continental crust and originated during the tectonic separation of Greenland and North America. The finding enhances our understanding of how lithospheric structures influence plate tectonics and opens up the possibility that microcontinents may be more widespread than previously believed. The identification of this microcontinent contributes significantly to geological studies, offering insights into the ancient processes that shaped the Earth's crust in the North Atlantic region.
