Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The tectonic evolution of the Eastern Pyrenees from the orogenic mountain building to the post‐orogenic dismantling is still debated. Since the Oligocene, the Gulf of Lion rifting in the Western Mediterranean superimposed crustal extension in this eastern part of the Pyrenean belt, while compressional tectonics persisted in the Central ...

A study of tectonic activity in the Basin-Range Province and on the San Andreas Fault. No. 1: Kinematics of Basin-Range intraplate extension [PDF]
Strain rates assessed from brittle fracture and total brittle-ductile deformation measured from geodetic data were compared to estimates of paleo-strain from Quaternary geology for the intraplate Great Basin part of the Basin-Range, western United States.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.Abstract The Newer Volcanic Province (NVP) in southeastern Australia is a classic example of continental intraplate volcanism located far from a plate boundary, yet the configuration of its magma plumbing system remains unclear. Using three‐dimensional (3D) magnetotelluric (MT) inversion, we imaged a vertically continuous, trans‐lithospheric conductive

Tectonic history of the terrestrial planets [PDF]
It is impossible in a single brief summary to convey the full range of research results that have come from this project over the last 13 years. The sweep of subjects covered ranges widely over the broad areas of the thermal and tectonic evolution of the

Large scale deformation in a locked collisional boundary: Interplay between subsidence and uplift, intraplate stress and inherited lithospheric structure in the late stage of the SE Carpathians evolution. [PDF]
, 2007 The interplay between slab dynamics and intraplate stresses in postcollisional times creates large near-surface deformation, particularly in highly bent orogens with significant lateral variations in mechanical properties.

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2018 The basement’s top tectonics of the East European platform (EEP) has been considered on the basis of the modern mapping data. The importance of the long-lived tectonic zones that form the vortex megastructure has been justified.Their Riphean — early ...

Nonvolcanic tremor observed in the Mexican subduction zone [PDF]
, 2008 Nonvolcanic tremor (NVT) activity is revealed as episodes of higher spectral amplitude at 1–8 Hz in daily spectrograms from the continuous seismological records in Guerrero, Mexico.

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]
, 2011 We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that

Intraplate seismicity in northern Central Europe is induced by the last glaciation [PDF]
, 2015 There is growing evidence that climate-induced melting of large ice sheets has been able to trigger fault reactivation and earthquakes around the migrating ice limit.

Nature Communications, 2019 The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is thought to account for extensive intraplate deformation in Asia. The prevailing explanation considers the role of the Pacific and Sunda subduction zones as passive during ...
