Crustal Structure of Active Deformation Zones in Africa: Implications for Global Crustal Processes [PDF]

Tectonics, 2017
AbstractThe Cenozoic East African rift (EAR), Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and Atlas Mountains formed on the slow‐moving African continent, which last experienced orogeny during the Pan‐African. We synthesize primarily geophysical data to evaluate the role of magmatism in shaping Africa's crust. In young magmatic rift zones, melt and volatiles migrate

The crustal juvenile and reworking in eastern Tibet due to tectonism and magmatism

Scientific Reports
Crustal thickening in Tibet results from the collision of India and Eurasia. The fine structure of the crust is vital information to detect the tectonic genesis of crustal growth and reworking.

Seismic Constraint From Vp/Vs Ratios on the Structure and Composition Across the Continent‐Ocean Transition Zone, South China Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
At non‐volcanic passive continental margins, seismic techniques often failed to uniquely define the nature of crustal domains. Here, we overcome this problem by studying the structure and composition of the continent‐ocean transition (COT) in the ...

Crustal structure beneath the central and western North China from receiver function analysis

Earthquake Science, 2022
The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons on earth. Several important tectonic transformations of Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic regime led to the destruction of the North China craton. The knowledge of crustal structure can provide important
