Discussion on transpression and transtension zones
Journal of the Geological Society, 1999S. Lin, D. Jiang & P. F. Williams write: Transpression and transtension are common geological processes that have been the focus of many recent studies. The international conference on 'Continental Transpressional and Transtensional Tectonics' held in London, England in March 1997 and the Geological Society, London, Special

Extended models of transpression and transtension, and application to tectonic settings
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1998Abstract We introduce a spectrum of transpressional and transtensional deformations that potentially result from oblique plate interaction. Five separate types of deformation are designated, in which a simple shear deformation is combined with an orthogonal coaxial deformation. The types vary in the amount of extension v.

The hypothesis of the late Cenozoic pulsary propagation of tectonic deformations of the lithosphere from the Vitim-Udokan angular hot transtension zone to basins of Lake Baikal is substantiated. The origin of pulses is designated by volcanic intervals of

The interaction of the Palaeo-Pacific and Palaeo-Asian Oceans is an enigmatic issue as their temporal and spatial features are controversial. To address this issue, we present a systematic study of large volumes of early Permian volcanic rocks and ...

Lithospheric-Scale Transtension between Vertical, Non-parallel, Planar Zone Boundaries
International Geology Review, 2008Strain distribution in crustal-scale transtensional zones with non-parallel zone boundaries is heterogeneous, with higher strain gradients in the narrower parts of the zone. Kinematic modeling of such zones shows that, for a constant displacement vector and finite displacement of the zone boundary, the finite strain achieved at a point is dependent on ...

Fractured rock aquifers are one of the most difficult aquifers to characterize due to complex geometry and fracture network. In Aravalli terranes of North Gujarat, communities depend on basement rock aquifers as the primary source of water supply.

Extensional fault arrays in strike-slip and transtension
Journal of Structural Geology, 2005Abstract Sedimentary basins developed under conditions of strike-slip or transtension are subject to significant rotational strains, yet faults developed in such regimes are commonly explained using simplified models that ignore rotation. The heaves of extensional faults developed provide a means of quantifying this rotation.

Transtension in the Brittle Field: The Coso Region, Southern California
International Geology Review, 2008Transtension in the upper crustal brittle field, at the lithospheric scale, involves some difficult kinematic problems that result from the non-coaxial component of bulk strain, which generates rotation about vertical axes and the internal deformation of rotating blocks.
