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 ...

Geology and tectonic evolution of Alaska
1982Abstract The last major synthesis of the geology of Alaska was Areal Geology of Alaska (P. S. Smith, 1939, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 192). Up to that time, less than half of what was then the Territory of Alaska had been surveyed by geologists, even by the crudest exploratory standards.

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 ...

Tectonic evolution of the Oman Mountains
2021The tectonic evolution of the Oman Mountains as of the Neoproterozoic begins with a major extensional event, the Neoproterozoic Abu Mahara rifting. It was followed by the compressional Nabitah event, still during the Neoproterozoic, in Oman but possibly not in the study area.
