Tectonic Evolution of the Yangtze Tectonic Regime [PDF]

open access: possible, 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 ...

Fibrous Tectonics

Architectural Design, 2015
Living nature is characterised by ubiquitous and all‐pervading diversity. Over the course of evolution, highly differentiated and infinitely varied systems have emerged in biology. Given the vast range of natural variation, it may come as a surprise that almost all load‐bearing biological structures are fibrous composites.

Tectonic landforms and quaternary tectonics in Japan

GeoJournal, 1980
The study of tectonic landforms is one of the main themes of geomophological research in Japan, characterized as a tectonically active area along the subducting oceanic plates. The recent trends in the studies of tectonic landforms which include an arrangement or distribution of major ranges and plains, vertical displacement of low-relief erosion ...

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 settings

1989
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.

Continental tectonics in the aftermath of plate tectonics

Nature, 1988
It 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.

Concerning tectonics and the tectonic evolution of the Arctic

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2013
Abstract 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 ...

Tectonics is a Hologram

2022
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 ...
