The granite occupies the northern parts, whereas in the south themassifis composed of gabbro in the west and leucogabbro in the east.

The latter consist mainly of basaltic pillowed andmassiflava flows.

A characteristic feature is that these fields are connected with limestone massifs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the southern part of themassif, 'ophiolites' are found as thin slices belonging to higher levels of the high-grade metamorphic unit.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Both these massifs have deep recesses in one side.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition, numerous smaller massifs occur scattered in the same general area as the major ones.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The massifs have similar metamorphic and sequential characteristics.

In addition, late brittle faults are clearly visible in the mountain walls in both gneiss and quartz syenite massifs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We analysed variation in fire frequency by climate, elevation and aspect (windward and leeward of the centralmassif).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Folded to various degrees in the piedmont zone, they give way sometimes to alternating granite, metamorphic or volcanic massifs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Zones (windward and leeward) were designated in respect to the centralmassifwhose orographic influences result in a marked precipitation gradient.

These include the wonderful map of themassifthat he produced in 1960, and of which part is reproduced in the book.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Several spurs of hills run west- east from the main uplandmassif, increasing local topographical complexity by more or less dividing the lowlands into a series of semi-enclosed coastal basins.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Granite, gabbro and leucogabbro with associated anorthosite make up themassiftogether with minor monzonite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is exceptional as an unglaciated granitemassifof special geological interest and unusual, striking topography.
