Strain Transformation Adjacent to the West Qinling Orogen: Implications for the Growth of the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The West Qinling orogen has played an important role in accommodating the deformation in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau induced by the India-Eurasia convergence.

History‐Dependent Volcanic Ground Deformation From Broad‐Spectrum Viscoelastic Rheology Around Magma Reservoirs

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Geodetic timeseries suggest that volcanoes exhibit a wide range of deformation patterns. Viscoelastic deformation around crustal magma storage zones is an expected contributor to such observations, but is challenging to characterize robustly.

Active crustal deformation model of the Fen–Wei rift zone, North China: Integration of geologic, geodetic, and stress direction datasets

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Fen–Wei rift zone (FWRZ) of North China is an important zone of active crustal deformation representing a transition from extrusion tectonics related to the Tibetan Plateau to subduction tectonics related to the potential far-field influence of the ...

Advances in Deformable Plate Tectonic Models: 2. Reconstructing the Southern North Atlantic Back Through Time

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The offshore rifted margins of the North Atlantic have a spatially complex crustal structure comprised of variable crustal morphologies, continental blocks, and inherited structures. Recently, deformable plate tectonic models have permitted the interplay

Crustal deformation

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991
One of the lessons of geology, and now one of the tenets of plate tectonics theory, is that most of the Earth's crust does not deform very much. Most of the deformation takes place along the relatively narrow plate boundaries. Working out the details of how this deformation takes place, and the physics of the Earth revealed by it, is a major research ...

Adaptive vertical-deformation field estimation and current tectonic deformation significance analysis in Shanxi rift valley

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Shanxi rift valley is a continental rift system that is characterized by mantle uplift, crustal thinning, and tectonic deformation. A continuous, vertical crustal-deformation field can elucidate the constraints for understanding the mechanisms ...
