The Kangaamiut dike swarm (old spelling: Kangâmiut) is a 2.04 billion year old dike swarm located in the Qeqqata region of western Greenland. The dikes cut Archean orthogneisses and are exposed along approximately 150 km (93 mi) of the coast and a similar distance up to the inland ice to the east, covering an area of about 18,000 km2 (6,900 sq mi). To the north it is bounded by the paleoproterozoic Ikertooq shear zone (old spelling: Ikertôq) while to the south the boundary is gradational with a gradual reduction in the density of dikes. The dike swarm was intruded during a phase of extensional tectonics. They were later deformed during the Nagssugtoqidian orogeny, with the amount of strain increasing towards the Iqertooq shear zone.

  • Lo sciame di dicchi Kangaamiut (Kangâmiut prima della riforma ortografica del 1973), è uno sciame di dicchi risalente a 2,04 miliardi di anni fa, situato nella regione della cittadina di Kangerlussuaq (Kangerdlugssuaq prima della riforma ortografica del 1973), nella parte occidentale della Groenlandia. I dicchi tagliano gneiss dell'Archeano e sono esposti per circa 150 km lungo la costa, con altrettanti chilometri di distanza dalla calotta glaciale interna; si estendono su un'area di circa 18.000 km2. Lo sciame è delimitato a nord dalla zona di faglie Ikertooq (Ikertôq prima della riforma ortografica) risalente al Paleoproterozoico; a sud la riduzione della densità dei dicchi è graduale. (it)
