Beginning about 6 Ma ago, oblique underthrusting commenced along the margin, resulting in flexural uplift of the western part of the Queen Charlotte Islands and companion subsidence in Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. The underthrusting caused rapid cooling of the old rift basins. This phase of subsidence has continued at a decreasing rate until the present. 2, record 6, English, - oblique%20underthrusting

Un sous-charriage oblique le long de la marge débuta il y a environ 6 Ma provoquant un soulèvement de flexure de la partie ouest des îles de la Reine-Charlotte, lequel s'accompagna d'une subsidence dans les détroits d'Hécate et de la Reine-Charlotte. Le sous-charriage a causé le refroidissement rapide des anciens bassins d'effondrement.
