Multiscale variations of the crustal stress field throughout North America

Nature Communications, 2020
The Earth’s crustal stress field controls active deformation and reflects the processes driving plate tectonics. Here we present the first quantitative synthesis of relative principal stress magnitudes throughout North America together with hundreds of ...

Transtensional tectonics during the Gondwana breakup in northeastern Brazil: Early Cretaceous paleostress inversion in the Araripe Basin

, 2023
Intraplate deformation during the Mesozoic breakup of West Gondwana predominantly occurred along major ancient lithospheric discontinuities. The Precambrian Patos Shear Zone (PASZ) is an inherited lithospheric discontinuity in the interior of ...

Triassic Intracontinental Crustal Reworking of the Eastern Tianshan: New Insights From Late Triassic Adakitic and Low‐Sr/Y Granitoids in the Bogda Range

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Continental intraplate magmatism remains a fundamental challenge in Plate Tectonics. Triassic magmatism represents a critical phase in the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and continues to provoke debate about its tectonic setting. This study

Role of Intraplate Strike-Slip Earthquakes in Accommodating Convergence Across the Eastern Himalayan Plate Boundary System [PDF]

Lithosphere
North-East India, at the eastern extremity of the Himalaya, is one of the most rapidly deforming intraplate regions. The tectonics of this region is shaped by oblique convergence between two nearly perpendicular plate boundaries of the Eastern Himalaya ...

Buckling of the oceanic lithosphere from geophysical data and experiments [PDF]

, 1992
Two major hypothesis have been advanced for the formation of the long wavelength (100-300) km undulations of oceanic basement and overlying sediments developed in the central Indian Ocean: whole layer folding (buckling) and local thickening (inverse ...

Low-velocity anomaly in the Coral Sea associated with subducting slabs and the Woodlark rift

Communications Earth & Environment
Classical plume models offer insights into intraplate volcanism and seamount chain formation by assuming a cylindrical upwelling of hot materials from the core-mantle boundary.

Intraplate Strike-Slip Corridor within South America (NE Border of the Paraná Basin) Unveiled by Structural Analysis of Faults and Fracture Swarms

Geosciences, 2022
We present the effect of neotectonics in intracratonic settings as revealed by the surface, brittle deformation associated to a regionally-sized shear corridor, which affects Southeastern Brazil.

Neotectonics and intraplate continental topography of the Northern Alpine Foreland

, 2006
Research on neotectonics and related seismicity has hitherto been mostly focused on active plate boundaries that are characterized by generally high levels of earthquake activity.

Influence of Digital Elevation Model Resolution on the Normalized Stream Length–Gradient Index in Intraplate Regions: A Case Study of the Yangsan Fault, Korea

Remote Sensing
The spatial variability of input parameters plays a crucial role in the interpretation of geomorphic indices, with digital elevation models (DEMs) being the primary data source.

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean

, 1996
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...
