Jurassic Salt Tectonics in the SW Sub‐Alpine Fold‐and‐Thrust Belt

Tectonics, 2020
Evaporites play a major role in the evolution of an orogenic wedge, modifying the shape and the deformation kinematics inside the wedge. Salt tectonics can occur at various stages, but early salt activity can create a structural inheritance which ...

Plate Tectonics

Science, 1972
Plate tectonics as a theory distinct from, yet embracing, continental drift and sea floor spreading was formulated by Wilson [1965] when he described a continuous network of ridges, transforms, and subduction zones bounding large rigid plates. Wilson explicitly discussed many of the consequences of the relative motion of torsionally rigid plates such ...

Performative Tectonics

2010
This paper studies two digital generative tools in terms of Performative Tectonics. Performative Tectonics is a term developed in the paper, which links the contemporary development of digital tools to the tectonic tradition of architecture. Within the theoretical framework of this definition, the paper presents case studies of the structural ...

Tectonics of the Eastern Kunlun Range: Cenozoic Reactivation of a Paleozoic‐Early Mesozoic Orogen

Tectonics, 2019
The Eastern Kunlun Range in north Tibet, located along the northern margin of the eastern Tethyan orogenic system, records evidence for continental break‐up and ocean development in the Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic subduction and continental ...

Polarized Plate Tectonics

2015
The mechanisms driving plate motion and the Earth's geodynamics are still not entirely clarified. Lithospheric volumes recycled at subduction zones or emerging at rift zones testify mantle convection. The cooling of the planet and the related density gradients are invoked to explain mantle convection either driven from the hot interior or from the ...

Tectonic ecology

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1987
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions affect ecosystems on a variety of scales. Trees are particularly susceptible to land movements associated with major fault activity and dendrological studies offer ways of dating past earthquakes, thereby assisting in the prediction of future events.
