Tectonic evolution of the central Annapurna Range, Nepalese HimalayasTectonics - Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 1264-1291 - 1996
K. V. Hodges, Randall R. Parrish, M. P. Searle
The metamorphic core of the Himalayan orogen, or Greater Himalayan sequence, is a northward tapering prism bound at the bottom by a N dipping family of thrust faults (the Main Central thrust system) and at the top by a N dipping family of normal faults (the South Tibetan detachment system). Research in the central Annapurna Range of Nepal demonstrates a close temporal and spatial associati...... hiện toàn bộ
Kinematics, topography, shortening, and extrusion in the India‐Eurasia collisionTectonics - Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 1085-1098 - 1992
Xavier Le Pichon, Marc Fournier, Laurent Jolivet
We examine the problem of partitioning between shortening and extrusion in the India‐Asia collision since 45 Ma. We compute the amount of shortening expected from the kinematics of India's motion with respect to Eurasia, using the reconstruction at collision time to put bounds on the possible amounts of surface loss within Greater India and within Eurasia. We then compute the amounts of su...... hiện toàn bộ
Active tectonics in Eastern Lunana (NW Bhutan): Implications for the seismic and glacial hazard potential of the Bhutan HimalayaTectonics - Tập 25 Số 3 - 2006
Michael C. Meyer, G. Wiesmayr, Marygail K. Brauner, Hermann Häusler, D. Wangda
Paleoseismological investigations, brittle fault analysis, and paleostrain calculations combined with the interpretation of satellite imagery and flood wave modeling were used to investigate the seismic and associated glacial hazard potential in Eastern Lunana, a remote area in NW Bhutan. Seismically induced liquefaction features, cracked pebbles, and a surface rupture of about 6.8 km leng...... hiện toàn bộ
Pre‐Neogene evolution of the Western Carpathians: Constraints from the Bochnia‐Tatra Mountains section (Polish Western Carpathians)Tectonics - Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 855-873 - 1995
Eduard Roca, G. Bessereau, E. Jawor, Maciej J. Kotarba, François Roure
On the basis of field studies and subsurface data, this first balanced transect crosses most of the Carpathian foreland basin and the entire Polish Western Carpathian thrust units (Outer flysch nappes, Pieniny Klippen Belt, and Inner Carpathian Tatric thrust sheets). It shows that (1) me Outer Carpathians are made up of several flysch units whose internal structure is strongly controlled b...... hiện toàn bộ
Tectonic history of the Barberton greenstone belt, South Africa: 490 million years of Archean crustal evolutionTectonics - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 983-1005 - 1994
Cornel E.J. de Ronde, Maarten J. de Wit
Rocks of the 3570–3080 Ma Barberton greenstone belt record a geological history of at least 490 million years (m.y.), and were affected by regional thermal perturbations for over 1500 m.y. Small tectonic wedges of 3570–3511 Ma schistose tonalite are the oldest rocks yet recognized, but little is known about their tectonothermal history. The earliest, well‐recognized tectonothermal events (...... hiện toàn bộ
Early Jurassic Rifting of the Arabian Passive Continental Margin of the Neo‐Tethys. Field Evidence From the Lurestan Region of the Zagros Fold‐and‐Thrust Belt, IranTectonics - Tập 37 Số 8 - Trang 2586-2607 - 2018

AbstractThe Arabian passive margin formed at the southern margin of the Neo‐Tethys ocean during the breakup of Pangea. In the Lurestan region of the Zagros mountain belt, the deformed Arabian continental paleo‐margin can be reconstructed as originally consisting of distinct crustal domains, including a proximal sector and a distal continental ribbon, separated by a...... hiện toàn bộ
