Cenozoic evolution of Neotethys and implications for the causes of plate motions [PDF]

, 2003
Africa-North America-Eurasia plate circuit rotations, combined with Red Sea rotations and new estimates of crustal shortening in Iran define the Cenozoic history of the Neotethyan ocean between Arabia and Eurasia. The new constraints indicate that Arabia-

Passive Margin Earthquakes, Stresses and Rheology

, 1989
The occurrence of large earthquakes on passive continental margins poses the challenge of explaining the causes of earthquakes not directly related to plate boundary processes. Here, we suggest several features of models for passive margin seismicity based on inferences from the distribution and mechanisms of seismicity in the zone along the Canadian ...

Penghu Fan and Gaoping Fan: the depositional systems developed during passive margin–active margin transition offshore SW Taiwan

Geoscience Letters
This study characterizes for the first time the two largest submarine fans surrounding Taiwan, the Penghu Fan and the Gaoping Fan, based on detailed mapping of depositional elements through newly integrated MCS data.

The Difunta Correa metasedimentary sequence (NW Argentina): relict of a Neoproterozoic platform? — elemental and Sr-Nd isotope evidence

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
The Sierra de Pie de Palo (Western Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina) in the Andean foreland is mainly formed by a Mesoproterozoic basement and an Ediacaran metasedimentary cover referred to as the Difunta Correa metasedimentary sequence.

Role of tectonic stress in seepage evolution along the gas hydrate‐charged Vestnesa Ridge, Fram Strait [PDF]

, 2015
Methane expulsion from the world ocean floor is a broadly observed phenomenon known to be episodic. Yet the processes that modulate seepage remain elusive.

Seismicity of tectonic structures of the South Polar Region

Записки Горного института
The paper studies seismicity of the South Polar Region from the South Pole to the 50th parallel of south latitude. During the observation period, earthquakes of various genesis with a magnitude of M > 8 occurred in seismically hazardous zones of the ...

Spatial distribution and possible origin of the high velocity lower crust in the northern margin of the South China Sea

Geoscience Letters
High-velocity lower crust (HVLC) near the continent–ocean transition zone is significant for recording magmatic activity and early rifting history and is likely to be sourced from various types of magma supplies, including passive decompression melting ...

Role of the large-scale strike-slip transform zone in controlling the differential hydrocarbon distribution: A case of the Côte d'Ivoire Basin in West Africa

地质科技通报
Objective The Côte d'Ivoire Basin, which is located in the equatorial section of West Africa and features large-scale strike-slip transform zones, is a typical transformed passive continental margin basin.
