continental shield मीनिंग इन हिंदी

The less soluble lithophile elements are concentrated on ancient continental shields where all soluble minerals have been weathered.
Because of their stability, erosion has flattened the topography of most of the continental shields; however, they commonly do have a very gently convex surface.
During the Quaternary, loess and loess-like sediments were formed in periglacial environments on mid-continental shield areas in Europe and Siberia, on the margins of high mountain ranges like in Tajikistan and on semi-arid margins of some lowland deserts like in China.
