Shield - Tatejochi
A region where Precambrian bedrock is exposed over a wide area, forming a topography resembling a shield. It is also called a shield. It exists in the center of a stable ancient continent, and since the Paleozoic era, the only crustal movement has been gentle uplift and subsidence. In addition to the Canadian Shield, the Angara Shield (northeastern Eurasia), and the Baltic Shield, shields in Africa, Australia, and northeastern South America are well known.
