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 association

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 surface lo... 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
length const... 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
by initia... 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
(3490–345... 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
Stefano Tavani, Mariano Parente, Stefano Vitale, Alessandro Iannace, Amerigo Corradetti, Cinzia Bottini, Davoud Morsalnejad, Stefano Mazzoli
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 deep‐water
trough, known as the ... hiện toàn bộ
