Tectonic Evolution of the Yangtze Tectonic Regime
1989The Yangtze Tectonic Regime, bounded by several great faults, consists of three parts: West Sichuan Fold Belts, Yangtze Platform and South China Fold Belts. The Sichuan Basin Ancient Core covered with thick sedimentary sequences and considered as a oldest part of Yangtze Platform was expanded step by step by accreted wedges or belts composed of trench ...

Tectonic Evolution of the Caribbean
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1988The development of the Caribbean is discussed in terms of modern tectonic theory. The nature of the site on which the Caribbean formed is examined, and the development of the rifted margins of the Caribbean is described. Constraints on Caribbean evolution from the relative motions of North and South America are briefly examined, and the Caribbean ...

TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE PYRENEES
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1992The Pyrenees are a part of the Alpine chain of Western Europe which runs from the northern Iberian margin in the West to the Alps in the East (Figure 1). This E-W belt is considered to be a shortened crustal domain that occupies the site of the boundary between separate Iberian and Euro pean plates during Cretaceous times.

Concerning tectonics and the tectonic evolution of the Arctic
Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2013Abstract The particularities of the current tectonic structure of the Russian part of the Arctic region are discussed with the division into the Barents–Kara and Laptev–Chukchi continental margins. We demonstrate new geological data for the key structures of the Arctic, which are analyzed with consideration of new geophysical data ...

Tectonic interpretations of Alaska in the past have relied largely on observable structural data. Recent detailed study of known stratigraphic information has led to an alternate picture of Alaskan tectonogenesis. By relating sedimentary facies to tectonic environments a postulated geologic history from the Early Cambrian through Late Cretaceous has ...

Tectonophysics, 1975
Abstract Geologically Taiwan sits squarely on the continental shelf of the East China Sea and is considered as a coastal range of the Asiatic continent with the Tertiary eugeosyncline and miogeosyncline as side-troughs of the central Cordillera. Structurally Taiwan is situated at the junction of the Ryukyu Arc and the Philippine Arc and must have ...

The Paleontological Society Special Publications, 1999
The realization that the continents are mobile and not fixed in position, and the discovery of the processes driving that mobility, is one of the great scientific achievements of the 20th Century. From the outset, fossil evidence has been important in reconstructing past continental positions, usually by providing data on ancient similarities and ...

Tectonic progradation and plate tectonic evolution of the Alps
Tectonophysics, 1979Abstract Rifting and spreading, trench formation, flysch deposition, subduction and nappe formation prograde from internal to external parts of the Alpine orogen. The progradation is a characteristic feature of the evolution of the Alps. A plate tectonics model based on this cognition is presented and an attempt is made to integrate the plate ...

Tectonic evolution of greenstone belts
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1995AbstractGranite-greenstone terrains represent the main process by which continental crust was formed in the Archaean; the same process has continued since, at a diminishing rate. Granite plutonism added a layer about ten kilometres thick under the greenstones.
