From extension to tectonic inversion: Mid-Cretaceous onset of Andean-type orogeny in the Lhasa block and early topographic growth of Tibet

, 2020
Recent studies have indicated that an Andean-type orogen (Lhasaplano) developed on the Lhasa block in the Cretaceous during northward subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere.

Provenance and sedimentary evolution from the Middle Permian to Early Triassic around the Bogda Mountain, NW China: A tectonic inversion responding to the consolidation of Pangea

, 2020
The tectonic attribute and evolution of the Bogda Mountain are crucial to understand the Palaeozoic development of the Tian Shan and Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB).

Late Miocene extension of the Dali fault system in Southeast Tibet: Coupled tectonic inversion and landscape evolution

Geological Society of America Bulletin
Tectonic inversion is often a dramatic event with significant implications, yet pinpointing its timing is challenging. The Red River fault, one of the most important high-strain structures in Southeast Tibet, experienced a kinematic reversal, but the ...

Networks of geometrically coherent faults accommodate Alpine tectonic inversion offshore southwestern Iberia

Solid Earth
. The structural styles and magnitudes of Alpine tectonic inversion are reviewed for the Atlantic margin of southwestern (SW) Iberia, a region known for its historical earthquakes, tsunamis and associated geohazards.

Stress field modelling of the Late Oligocene tectonic inversion in the Liaodong Bay Subbasin, Bohai Bay Basin (northern China): Implications for geodynamics and petroleum accumulation

Journal of Geodynamics, 2019
The Liaodong Bay Subbasin (LDBS), Bohai Bay Basin, is one of the most petroliferous basins in China. The basin experienced a strong tectonic inversion in the Late Oligocene, which has been proven to have had a major influence on petroleum accumulation ...

Stress field and tectonic regime of Central Iran from inversion of the earthquake focal mechanisms

, 2021
This paper provides a latest compilation of data on the present-day stress pattern in Central Iran and its tectonic regime. We compiled 103 focal mechanism data collected from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor Project (GCMT) including data from Harvard ...

Mid-continent tectonic inversions, Northwest Territories, Canada

Journal of Structural Geology, 1996
Abstract Four types of tectonic inversion are recorded on reflection seismic data from the area northwest of Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The strata involved span about 1.7 Ga of Proterozoic and Phanerozoic history, and have been subjected to at least five tectonic events, two extensional, two compressional and one ...

Analogue models of inversion tectonics

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1989
Summary Inversion of dip-slip fault systems by horizontal recompression has been modelled using sand, sand-mica and sand-clay analogues. Three extension-inversion systems have been tested: uniform basal detachment, simple listric detachment and ramp/flat detachments.

The structure of the northern Austral Basin: Tectonic inversion of mesozoic normal faults

Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2019
This paper analyzes the style, distribution, mechanics, and timing of deformation of the Andean retroarc zone between 47° and 50°S, in the southern Patagonian Andes during the Mesozoic times.

Effects of fault-weakening processes on oblique intracontinental rifting and subsequent tectonic inversion

American Journal of Science, 2019
In many mountain belts, deformation concentrates along mechanically weak fault zones inherited from earlier tectonic events. This work investigates the effects of two modes of structural weakening on the orientation of rifting and later tectonic ...
