Propagating extrusion tectonics in Asia: New insights from simple experiments with plasticine

, 1982
Plane indentation experiments on unilaterally confined blocks of plasticine help us to understand finite intracontinental deformation and the evolution of strike-slip faulting in eastern Asia.

Structural History and Tectonics of Iran: A Review

, 1968
The structural development of the Iranian ranges has certain peculiarities which contradict the conventional geosynclinal theory of mountain building. Early orogenic movements resulted in the consolidation of the Precambrian basement and the formation of

Plate tectonics and sandstone compositions

, 1979
Detrital framework modes of sandstone suites from different kinds of basins are a function of provenance types governed by plate tectonics. Quartzose sands from continental cratons are widespread within interior basins, platform successions, miogeoclinal

Implications of Plate Tectonics for the Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of Western North America

, 1970
Magnetic anomaly patterns in the northeast Pacific Ocean combined with plate theory indicate that a trench existed offshore from western North America during mid-Tertiary time and that the present episode of strike-slip motion in the San Andreas fault ...

Kimberlites and the start of plate tectonics

, 2016
We want to know when plate tectonics began and will consider any important Earth feature that shows significant temporal evolution. Kimberlites, the primary source of diamonds, are rare igneous features.
