Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of Mexico
1994AbstractWe present a tectonic evolution of Mexico over the past 600 m.y., with focus on the position of southern margin of Proterozoic North America in Mexico, the Phanerozoic events that shaped this margin, and the accretion of terranes that built Mexico out from that margin to its present configuration.The evolution of Mexico is a peculiar and ...

Tectonic evolution of Sabah, Malaysia
Journal of Southeast Asian Earth Sciences, 1991Abstract Southeastward subduction of oceanic lithosphere in front of the rifted continental block of southern China under an emergent oceanic basement in the eastern part of Sabah controlled the development of an elongate basin trending NE-SW. This basin became the site for the deposition of Middle Eocene-Early Miocene sediments.

Sandstones, Tectonics, and Continental Evolution
1987At some stage in the geological investigation of a sandstone, we need to place the formation in a larger perspective—to see it in relation to the basin fill as a whole and even to think about it in the longer view of geologic history and continental evolution. We need to go from a provincial to a cosmopolitan outlook. Only by placing the local study in

Tectonic Evolution, Geology, and Geomorphology
2005The present-day major relief features of western Europe are to a great extent determined by the underlying geological structures, either passively or actively. To get a comprehensive picture of their morphological evolution and interrelations, this chapter provides an overview of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the larg-escale tectonic ...

The tectonic evolution of Australia
Earth-Science Reviews, 1979Abstract Fifteen non-palinspastic palaeotectonic maps, and accompanying explanatory text, are presented to illustrate the progressive development of the Australian continental block from the Archaean to the present. They summarise the structural and chronological framework of tectonic events in Australia as a data base for further research.

Tectonic Evolution and Basin History
1993Abstract The sedimentary cover of the North American craton in western Canada (see Fig. 5.5, in pocket) is in large part related to processes at the continental margins. It is in part the proximal deposits of continental terrace wedges, laid down on subsiding, divergent margins (miogeoclines), and in part the deposits of foreland basins ...
