Ma). The main regional metamorphism in the LHC is related to continent-continent collision between portions of the Gondwana supercontinent. This area may include remains of a potential suture between East and West Gondwana. The metamorphic grade increases gradually from the Prince Olav Coast (amphibolite facies; eastern part of the LHC) to the Soya Coast (granulite facies; western part of the LHC).

Two major tectonic processes could have influenced the formation of the present structures seen in Enderby Land.
