Great earthquakes along the Western United States continental margin: implications for hazards, stratigraphy and turbidite lithology
We summarize the importance of great earthquakes (Mw & 8) for hazards, stratigraphy of basin floors, and turbidite lithology along the active tectonic continental margins of the Cascadia subduction zone and the northern San Andreas Transform Fault by utilizing studies of swath bathymetry visual core descriptions, grain size analysis, Xray radiographs and physical properties. Recurrence times of...
متن کاملSubduction tectonic erosion and Late Cretaceous subsidence along the northern Austroalpine margin (Eastern Alps, Austria)
The Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary subsidence history of the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA) records the effect of two independent basin formation mechanisms at the northern leading margin of the Austroalpine unit. The terrestrial to shallow-marine sediments of the Lower Gosau Subgroup were deposited mainly within small, fault-bound basins during a phase of strike-slip faulting from the late ...
متن کاملUpper JurassicLower Cretaceous basinal strata along the Cordilleran Margin Implications for the accretionary history of the AlexanderWrangelliaPeninsular Terrane
Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous bashal strata are preserved in a discontinuous belt along the inboard margin of the Alexander-WrangelliaPeninsular terrane (AWP) in Alaska and western Canada, on the outboard margin of terranes in the Canadian Cordillera accreted to North America prior to Late Jurassic time, and along the Cordilleran margin from southern Oregon to southern California. Nearly ...
متن کاملControls on orogenesis along an ocean-continent margin transition in the Jura-Cretaceous Peninsular Ranges batholith
The Jura-Cretaceous Peninsular Ranges batholith (PRb) of southern and Baja California is a remarkable example of a zoned batholith containing distinct oceanic (western) and continental (eastern) basements. The transition between these basements is marked by a crustal-scale boundary along which distinct volcanosedimentary, structural, and metamorphic histories evolved during Mesozoic orogenesis....
متن کاملMiddle–late Miocene benthic foraminifera in a western equatorial Indian Ocean depth transect: Paleoceanographic implications
Middle through upper Miocene (17–5 Ma) benthic foraminiferal faunas (N63 μm) from a depth transect in the western equatorial Indian Ocean (DSDP Site 237, ODP Sites 707, 709 and 710; water depth 1500–3800 m) underwent significant faunal changes at ∼14–13 Ma and 11–8 Ma. These faunal changes are not easily interpreted, because of the complex factors controlling benthic foraminiferal distribution ...
