Tectonic Evolution of the Yangtze Tectonic Regime [PDF]
, 1989 The Yangtze Tectonic Regime, bounded by several great faults, consists of three parts: West Sichuan Fold Belts, Yangtze Platform and South China Fold Belts. The Sichuan Basin Ancient Core covered with thick sedimentary sequences and considered as a oldest part of Yangtze Platform was expanded step by step by accreted wedges or belts composed of trench ...

Concerning tectonics and the tectonic evolution of the Arctic
Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2013Abstract The particularities of the current tectonic structure of the Russian part of the Arctic region are discussed with the division into the Barents–Kara and Laptev–Chukchi continental margins. We demonstrate new geological data for the key structures of the Arctic, which are analyzed with consideration of new geophysical data ...

Continental tectonics in the aftermath of plate tectonics
Nature, 1988It is shown that the basic tenet of plate tectonics, rigid-body movements of large plates of lithosphere, fails to apply to continental interiors. There, buoyant continental crust can detach from the underlying mantle to form mountain ranges and broad zones of diffuse tectonic activity.

Publisher Summary Characteristic features of tectonic settings include lithologic assemblages (both supracrustal rocks and intrusive rocks), deformational styles and histories, metamorphism and P-T-t paths, as well as mineral and energy deposits. Rock assemblages that form in modem plate tectonic settings are known as petrotectonic assemblages.

A hologram is an image in which each area contains almost all the information about the entire system. It is a metaphor commonly used for complex systems in which the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts because of self-organization. And also the whole is smaller than the sum of the parts, since the collective organization limits the behavior of ...

Geologische Rundschau, 1996
Tectonics and climate are both directly and indirectly related. The direct connection is between uplift, atmospheric circulation, and the hydrologic cycle. The indirect links are via subduction, volcanism, the introduction of gasses into the atmosphere, and through erosion and consumption of atmospheric gases by chemical weathering.

Summary Mercury has a remarkable number of landforms that express widespread deformation of the planet’s crustal materials. Deformation on Mercury can be broadly described as either distributed or basin-localized. The distributed deformation on Mercury is dominantly compressional.

The field of tectonic geomorphology is in a state of tension. The widespread availability of high-quality, high-resolution digital topographic data encourages the development of simple morphological ‘tools’ which can be used to deduce recent tectonic evolution.

Plate tectonics, our major paradigm for how the Earth works, was established in the 1960s following decades of observational research that culminated in key discoveries such as geomagnetic reversals, mid-ocean ridges, transform faults, and seafloor spreading; collectively these insights gave rise to the ‘new global tectonics’ or theory of plate ...
