Information About

Davis Strait




Davis Strait ( and the Baffin Island in the Canadian territory of Nunavut . At around one to two Kilometre s, water depths in the strait are substantially less than in Labrador Sea to the south and Baffin Bay to the north. It is underlain by complex geological features of buried Basin s and Ridge s, probably formed by Strike-slip Faulting during Palaeogene times about 45 million to 62 million years ago. The strike-slip faulting transferred Plate-tectonic Motions in the Labrador Sea to Baffin Bay .
