TECTONIC INVERSION OF THE DNIEPER-DONETS BASIN

2021
The structural deformations of the sedimentary cover of the Dnieper-Donets basin (DDB) of the stages of platform tectonic activation in the zone of its articulation with the Donets Foldbelt (DF) were studied. Based on the structural analysis of the geocarting materials of the territory of the Western Donets Graben (WDG), using field definitions of the ...

Tectonic controls on the Karlıova triple junction (Turkey): Implications for tectonic inversion and the initiation of volcanism

Tectonophysics, 2017
Abstract Few places on Earth are tectonically as active as the Karliova region of eastern Turkey which comprises a triple junction (KTJ). Triple junctions result in complex kinematic and mechanical interactions within the lithosphere generating tectonic inversions and uplift, extensive seismicity and volcanism. Here we present new data, and summarize

Tectonic inversion and structural inheritance in mountain belts

Journal of Structural Geology, 2006
Collisional mountain belts are the product of deformation of former continental margins. During the past 20 years it has be- come increasingly evident that the pre-existing faults, basin structures and the stratigraphic variations they generate can play a significant role in influencing the structural evolution of later compressional tectonics.

Extensional structures and their tectonic inversion in the Western Alps

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1991
Abstract During Alpine collision the western margin of Tethys was uplifted on large-scale thrust zones, to preserve and give excellent 3D exposures of Mesozoic fault geometries. The faults are particularly well exposed along the margins of the Belledonne and Pelvoux basement massifs, east of Grenoble.

The inverse problem in microtectonics and the separation of tectonic phases

Tectonophysics, 1982
Abstract The algorithm of inverse problems is applied to three cases in microtectonics. A collection of striations measured on pre-existing faults may be processed automatically and interpreted in terms of tectonic stress. A comparison is made between two different methods formerly proposed by the authors. Both methods are tested with field data. The

Role of inversion tectonics in structural development of the Himalaya

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2010
Abstract Analysis of surface and subsurface structures, variation of shortening amounts obtained by restoration of deformed cross-sections, and occurrence of younger hangingwall rocks over the older footwall rocks across the Vaikrita Thrust in the Higher Himalaya suggests reactivation of early normal faults as thrusts.

Inversion tectonics of the Variscan foreland of the British Isles

Journal of the Geological Society, 1996
Late Westphalian inversion structures on the Variscan foreland display wide variations in orientation that are the product of the underlying basement grain. The orientation of the major basement lineaments in relation to the direction of maximum shortening also determined the severity of deformation of the inverted basins.

Present-day stress field and tectonic inversion in the Pannonian basin

Global and Planetary Change, 2007
This paper presents a latest compilation of data on the present-day stress pattern in the Pannonian basin, and its tectonic environment, the Alpine-Dinaric orogens. Extensional formation of the basin system commenced in the early Miocene, whereas its structural reactivation, in the form of gradual basin inversion, has been taking place since Pliocene ...

Inversion tectonics on the continental margin east of Newfoundland

Geology, 1987
Industrial multichannel seismic data show a series of elongate sedimentary basins beneath the outer continental shelf east of Newfoundland. The basin sediments range in age from Carboniferous to Early Cretaceous; regional subsidence since the Late Cretaceous buried these basins under Cenozoic sediments.

A short note on the inversion of tectonic stress fields

Tectonophysics, 1983
Abstract Works on global and regional stress fields are briefly reviewed. Questions encountered in computing tectonic stress fields are listed as: the earth model, driving forces, distinguishing criteria and residual stress. For the linear elastic case, a scheme making use of the superposition principle and the method of least squares is described in
