Greenstone-granite belts such as those of the Archean continued to form in the Proterozoic, albeit in greatly reduced amounts.

The rate is computed by dividing the distance of an anomaly from the ridge crest by the age of the anomaly twice. Thus the oceanic crust at the Juan de Fuca Ridge is moving at about 15 mm (0.6 inch) per year away from the ridge crest and at about 60 mm (2.4 inches) per year away from the crustal segment on the opposite side of the crest.
