Greenstone Belts. 1. Figure 8.12: Greenstone Belts are elongated features composed of mildly metamorphosed volcanic (mostly komatiite and basalt) rocks and associated sediments. Greenstone belts were generally deposited in oceanic settings although the occurrence of associated andesitic and rhyolitic rocks suggests nearby volcanic arcs. 2.
