The Relationship Between Inverted Normal Faults and Pure Thrusting During the Tectonic Inversion of the Domeyko Cordillera, Northern Chile: Structural and Seismic Interpretation and Analog Modeling Experiments

Tectonics, 2022
The orogenic growth of the Domeyko Cordillera was induced by a positive tectonic inversion. In this work, we have validated this interpretation from new field data, which were combined with 2‐D reflection seismic profile interpretations obtained along ...

Permian to early Triassic tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Mahu sag, Junggar Basin, western China: sedimentological implications of the transition from rifting to tectonic inversion

, 2021
The Permian to early Triassic terrestrial successions in the Mahu sag constrain the tectonic evolution of northwestern edge of the Junggar basin. This study analyzes the sequence stratigraphy of the Mahu sag in order to understand the interplay between ...

Cenozoic tectonic inversion in the Northern Depression, South Yellow Sea Basin, East Asia: Structural styles and driving mechanism

, 2021
The Northern Depression of the South Yellow Sea Basin underwent two episodes of tectonic inversion from the latest Eocene to Oligocene and in the Pliocene, respectively. During the inversion, the structural depression controlled previously by extensional

Tectonic inversion assessed by integration of geological and geophysical data: The intracontinental Rio do Peixe Basin, NE Brazil

Basin Research, 2020
Common basin models assume that the post‐rift tectonic evolution of most basins is usually associated with tectonic quiescence. However, tectonic inversion during the post‐rift phase has been proposed for several sedimentary basins worldwide, but how and

Inversion tectonics in central Alborz, Iran

Journal of Structural Geology, 2006
Abstract Structural analyses carried out in the southern-central Alborz (Iran) have shown that the evolution of this belt has been strongly conditioned by the inversion of pre-existent extensional faults. Inversion tectonics has been identified especially in the southern part of the belt, and it is related to the reactivation of grabens formed in the

Regional sandstone-type uranium mineralization rooted in Oligo–Miocene tectonic inversion in the Songliao Basin, NE China

, 2020
The tectonic inversion of the Songliao Basin during the Oligo–Miocene may have played an important role in controlling the development of sandstone-type uranium deposits (SUDs).

Controls of a strike-slip fault system on the tectonic inversion of the Mahu depression at the northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin, NW China

, 2020
The marginal fault system, which is represented by the Hong–Che (Hongshanzui–Chepaizi), Ke–Bai (Karamay–Baikouquan), and Wu–Xia (Wuerhe–Xiazijie) sub-systems and developed in the northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin, NW China, is a key factor ...

Geometry and kinematics of inversion tectonics

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1989
Summary Positive inversion tectonics involves the reversal of extensional fault movement during contractional tectonics. Basin stratigraphy developed before, during and after extensional fault movements may be described as pre-, syn- and postrift sequences.

Sandbox model studies of inversion tectonics

Tectonophysics, 1987
Abstract Scaled plane-strain sandbox models have been used to simulate basement-controlled structural inversion in a sedimentary overburden. Two basement configurations were tested. In the first one, reversal of movement along vertical and normal faults that controlled a graben relief induced only a partial recovery of displacement along the pre ...
