Wopmay orogen
The Wopmay orogen is an ancient geological feature located in northern Canada, created when the Bear Plate collided with the Slave Plate during the early Proterozoic. It is approximately 500 km along the north-south axis, and 200 km along the east-west axis at its widest point, tapering at both the northern and southern ends.〔
The formation, also known as the Wopmay Fault Zone, was named for Wilfrid Reid "Wop" May, OBE, DFC (April 20, 1896 – June 21, 1952), a Canadian flying ace in the First World War and a leading post-war aviator.

==Formation==

The Wopmay Orogen formed ca. 1.9 billion years ago when the Bear plate and the Slave plate collided.〔 Faulting and folding of the four intervening rock zones resulted in a (now eroded) mountain belt.〔 Each of the four rock zones has the typical characteristic of orogenic belts in that they consist of long parallel strips of rock exhibiting similar characteristics along the length of each belt. Orogenic belts are associated with subduction zones. Research from the Lithoprobe project indicates an ancient subduction zone underlying the Wopmay Orogen.
