GNSS Constraints to Active Tectonic Deformations of the South American Continental Margin in Ecuador
GNSS observations constitute the main tool to reveal Earth’s crustal deformations in order to improve the identification of geological hazards. The Ecuadorian Andes were formed by Nazca Plate subduction below the Pacific margin of the South American ...

Based on the model of an oceanic island-arc breakup followed by accretion of rear and frontal parts of an arc to a continental margin of North-East Asia, the geodynamic nature of the ophiolites of Kamchatka and South Koryakia has been considered.

Based on the results from the previous research on Mesozoic igneous rocks, as well as tectonic environments in the northern South China Sea and southern East China Sea (NSCS-SECS), geophysical parameters, strata, and characteristics of seismic facies in ...

The Xigaze fore‐arc basin in southern Tibet records important information related to subduction of the Neo‐Tethys and subsequent collision between India and Asia. We present field observations, together with new apatite fission track and zircon (U‐Th)/He

Seismic Evidence for Fluid/Gas Beneath the Mentawai Fore‐Arc Basin, Central Sumatra [PDF]
AbstractSince 2004, there have been three great interplate earthquakes (Mw > 8.0) offshore Sumatra. In addition to rupturing the megathrust, these earthquakes might also have ruptured the backthrusts that bound the Andaman Islands to the Mentawai Islands toward the forearc basins. Here we apply a combination of traveltime tomography and seismic full

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]
The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Changing Sources of Magma Generation Beneath Intra-Oceanic Islands Arcs: An Insight From the Juvenile Kohistan Island Arc, Pakistan Himalaya [PDF]
The Kohistan arc, situated in the Pakistan Himalaya, is a Cretaceous intraoceanic island arc which was initiated during the northward movement of the Indian Plate. The arc was sutured to Asia at ca. 100 Ma.

INTRA-OCEANIC ARCS OF THE PALEO-ASIAN OCEAN
Intra-oceanic arcs (IOAs) form at Pacific-type convergent margins, in the upper “stable” plate, when the subducting plate submerges to the depths of melting, i.e., to ca. 50–100 km.
