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
Control of preexisting faults on geometry and kinematics in the northernmost part of the Jura fold‐and‐thrust beltTectonics - Tập 25 Số 5 - 2006
Kamil Ustaszewski, Stefan M. Schmid
This study investigates the formation of the northernmost anticlines of the late Miocene to early Pliocene thin‐skinned Jura fold‐and‐thrust belt and provides evidence that a transition to thick‐skinned tectonics did occur in this particular area during the late Pliocene. The northernmost anticlines of the Jura fold‐and‐thrust belt are characterized by pronounced along‐strike asymmetries t...... hiện toàn bộ
Well‐documented travel history of Mesozoic pelagic chert in Japan: From remote ocean to subduction zoneTectonics - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 475-499 - 1991
Tetsuo Matsuda, Yukio Isozaki
The Mino‐Tanba belt in southwest Japan, a segment of the Cordilleran‐type orogenic chain of Jurassic east Asia, is composed mainly of a Middle‐Upper Jurassic subduction‐accretion complex in which Triassic and Lower Jurassic bedded radiolarian cherts occur as large allochthonous units structurally interlayered with Middle‐Upper Jurassic clastic rocks. High‐resolution microfossil (conodont a...... hiện toàn bộ
Structure of the Maláguide Complex near Vélez Rubio (Eastern Betic Cordillera, SE Spain)Tectonics - Tập 26 Số 4 - 2007
Encarnación Fernández‐Fernández, A. Jabaloy, Fernando Nieto, Francisco González Lodeiro
The Maláguide Complex of the Betic Cordillera represents a tectonic element which mostly underwent brittle deformation during the Alpine orogeny, and that covers the high‐pressure/low‐temperature (HP/LT) complexes of the internal Betic Cordillera. The evolution of this complex can help to determine both when the lower HP/LT complexes began to exhume and the behavior of the upper plate duri...... hiện toàn bộ
Correlations between Nazca/Farallon Plate kinematics and forearc basin evolution in EcuadorTectonics - Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 769-790 - 1989
M. C. Daly
The Tertiary evolution of the forearc basins of Ecuador shows a close correlation between the changing convergence rate of the Farallon, and later Nazca, oceanic plates and continental South America. The correlation occurs during the subduction of a relatively young slab and, in the Late Miocene, onset of the subduction of the Carnegie aseismic ridge. The Ecuador forearc basins lie on a ba...... hiện toàn bộ
