Normal fault evolution in Lishu Fault Depression, southern Songliao Basin
The formation of the Songliao Basin was affected by multidirectional tectonic stress and various peripheral structural belts, and has a complicated geological structure and basin evolution process.

Tectonic history of the South Tannuol Fault Zone (Tuva region of the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Russia) : constraints from multi-method geochronology [PDF]
In this study, we present zircon U/Pb, plagioclase and K-feldspar Ar-40/Ar-39 and apatite fission track (AFT) data along the South Tannuol Fault Zone (STFZ).

Tectonic controls on the pre-salt hydrocarbon distribution in block A of Campos Basin, Brazil
Block A in the southern Campos Basin in the deep water of Brazil has complicated pre-salt structures as a result of the Late Jurassic tectonic activity. Based on new 3D seismic and drilling data, the geological attributes, fault development and tectonic ...

Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]
Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

The evolution of plate tectonics [PDF]
To understand how plate tectonics became Earth's dominant mode of convection, we need to address three related problems. (i) What was Earth's tectonic regime before the present episode of plate tectonics began? (ii) Given the preceding tectonic regime, how did plate tectonics become established?
