Coupling Crustal‐Scale Rift Architecture With Passive Margin Salt Tectonics: A Geodynamic Modeling Approach

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022
Continental rifted margins are often associated with widespread, thick evaporite (i.e., salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The majority of salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, prior to continental breakup.

Salt tectonics vs. inversion tectonics: The anticlines of the western Maestrazgo revisited (eastern Iberian Chain, Spain)

Basin Research, 2022
Many works in the last decades underline the role of evaporites, not just as a conditioning factor but as the engine for subsidence and eventually basin inversion.

Initiating Salt Tectonics by Tilting: Viscous Coupling Between a Tilted Salt Layer and Overlying Brittle Sediment

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
Salt basins often exhibit a shelf/slope region of extension and a deeper domain of contraction. The up‐slope normal faults in such salt tectonics systems are often associated with the pinch‐out edge of the buried salt layer.

Interactions between deep-water gravity flows and active salt tectonics

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2021
Behavior of sediment gravity flows can be influenced by seafloor topography associated with salt structures; this can modify the depositional architecture of deep-water sedimentary systems.

Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin [PDF]

, 2010
Extent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven

Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]

, 2009
The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Modeling of stringer deformation and displacement in Ara salt after the end of salt tectonics

Open Geosciences, 2018
The present work considers numerical models of large rock inclusions (stringers) are embedded in many salt bodies. The study has been made to investigate the influence of salt tectonic process, such as downbuilding, on the deformation and displacement of

Basement-involved thrusting, salt migration and intramontane conglomerates: a case from the Southern Pyrenees

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021
The northern margin of the Organyà basin (Southern Pyrenees) has a complex structure in which syn-rift Lower Cretaceous carbonates flank a wide Keuper evaporite province, featuring the leading edges of the basement-involved thrust sheets of the Pyrenean ...

Characteristics of direct human impacts on the rivers Karun and Dez in lowland south-west Iran and their interactions with earth surface movements [PDF]

, 2015
Two of the primary external factors influencing the variability of major river systems, over river reach scales, are human activities and tectonics.
