The Moine Thrust Belt or Moine Thrust Zone is a linear tectonic feature in the Scottish Highlands which runs from Loch Eriboll on the north coast 190 kilometres (120 mi) south-west to the Sleat peninsula on the Isle of Skye. The thrust belt consists of a series of thrust faults that branch off the Moine Thrust itself. Topographically, the belt marks a change from rugged, terraced mountains with steep sides sculptured from weathered igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks in the west to an extensive landscape of rolling hills over a metamorphic rock base to the east. Mountains within the belt display complexly folded and faulted layers and the width of the main part of the zone varies up to 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), although it is significantly wider on Skye.

  • Le Moine Thrust (Faille de chevauchement de Moine) a été créé il y a 410 à 430 millions d'années lors de l'orogenèse calédonienne par la collision entre le paléo-continent Baltica et le paléo-continent Laurentia. La zone de chevauchement a une largeur de plusieurs kilomètres et sépare un gneiss métamorphique soumis à des contraintes tectoniques (gneiss de Lewis) datant du Néoprotérozoïque se trouvant au dessus de sédiments calcaires du Cambro-Ordovicien, donc beaucoup plus récents. Le nom vient de A'Mhoine, une tourbière, dans le Sutherland, au nord de la zone. (fr)

  • De Moine-overschuiving is een geologische breukzone gelegen in Schotse Hooglanden die bestaat uit een groot aantal op elkaar volgende overschuivingen. De zone loopt vanaf Loch Eriboll aan de Schotse noordkust 190 km naar het zuidwesten tot de zuidpunt van het eiland Skye. De Moine-overschuiving werd gevormd tijdens de Caledonische orogenese en vormt de scheiding tussen de geologisch gecompliceerde kust van Noordwest-Schotland en de metamorfe gesteenten van de Schotse Caledoniden in het zuidoosten. Het verschil in gesteente vormt de reden voor een verschil in landschap tussen de heuvels in het zuidoosten en de ruigere bergen van het noordwesten van Schotland. (nl)
  • Cavalgamento de Moine é um cavalgamento que se estende pelo noroeste a partir do sul da Ilha de Skye até a , na Escócia. Ele se formou entre 410 a 430 milhões de anos atrás, quando os movimentos tectônicos comprimiram a Escócia. Ele foi descoberto em 1907, sendo um marco na história da geologia e foi o primeiro cinturão de encavalamento identificado. (pt)
  • Moine Thrust ist eine geologische Decken-Überschiebung im Norden Schottlands. Sie ist etwa 180 km lang und reicht vom Süden der Isle of Skye bis zum Loch Eriboll in Nordost-Sutherland. Der Name ist abgeleitet von a'Mhoine, die Bezeichnung für Moor in Nord-Sutherland. Der Moine Thrust wurde 1907 als erster Überschiebungsgürtel überhaupt identifiziert. (de)
