The latter consist mainly of basaltic pillowed and massif lava flows. A characteristic feature is that these fields are connected with limestone massifs. In the southern part of the massif, 'ophiolites' are found as thin slices belonging to higher levels of the high-grade metamorphic unit. Both these massifs have deep recesses in one side. In addition, numerous smaller massifs occur scattered in the same general area as the major ones. 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. We analysed variation in fire frequency by climate, elevation and aspect (windward and leeward of the central massif). Folded to various degrees in the piedmont zone, they give way sometimes to alternating granite, metamorphic or volcanic massifs. Zones (windward and leeward) were designated in respect to the central massif whose orographic influences result in a marked precipitation gradient. These include the wonderful map of the massif that he produced in 1960, and of which part is reproduced in the book. Several spurs of hills run west- east from the main upland massif, increasing local topographical complexity by more or less dividing the lowlands into a series of semi-enclosed coastal basins. Granite, gabbro and leucogabbro with associated anorthosite make up the massif together with minor monzonite. It is exceptional as an unglaciated granite massif of special geological interest and unusual, striking topography. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
