TERRAIN TECTONICS OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN FOLDED BELT

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The terrain analysis concept envisages primarily a possibility of approximation of fragments / terrains of various geodynamic settings which belong to different plates. The terrain analysis can supplement the theory of plate tectonics in solving problems

3D Quantification of Subsidence During Pyrenean Retro‐Wedge Initiation: Role of Structural and Thermal Inheritance on Hyperextended Margin Inversion (Aquitaine Basin)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Onset of double subduction controls plate motion reorganisation

Nature Communications
Face-to-face double subduction systems, in which two oceanic plates subduct toward each other, are essential elements of plate tectonics. Two subduction zones in such systems are typically uneven in age and their spatially and temporally variable ...

Terrane Collision‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Mode Selection and Implications for Western Pacific Subduction System

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
In the regime of plate tectonics, the subduction of an oceanic plate generally terminates with the collision and accretion of continental terranes. Then, a new subduction zone may form in the neighboring oceanic plates, which is defined as the terrane ...

Buildup of a dynamically supported orogenic plateau: Numerical modeling of the Zagros/Central Iran case study

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
The Iranian plateau is a vast inland region with a smooth average elevation of c. 1.5 km formed at the rear of the Zagros orogen as a result of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision (i.e., over the last 30–35 Myr).

Frictional Behavior of Input Sediments to the Hikurangi Trench, New Zealand

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
The Hikurangi subduction zone hosts shallow slow‐slip events, possibly extending to the seafloor. The mechanisms allowing for this behavior are poorly understood but are likely a function of the frictional properties of the downgoing seafloor sediments ...
