Active flexural-slip faulting: A study from the Pamir-Tian Shan convergent zone, NW China
The flexural-slip fault (FSF), a type of secondary fault generated by bed-parallel slip, occurs commonly and plays an important role in accommodating fold growth. Although the kinematics and mechanics of FSFs are well studied, relatively few field observations or geometric models explore its geomorphic expression. In the Pamir-Tian Shan convergent zone, NW China, suites of well-preserved FSF sc...
متن کاملMultistratigraphic Constraints on the Nw Tethyan “carnian Crisis”
The “Carnian Crisis” is documented in basinal, shallow-marine and epicontinental northwestern Tethyan facies areas by, successively, (1) a demise of carbonate platforms and reefs in the Julian 1/IIc, (2) a major faunal and floral turnover in the Late Julian and (3) a significant extinction event affecting conodonts and ammonoids at the Julian/Tuvalian boundary. Based on the study of 19 successi...
متن کاملFolding and faulting of an elastic continuum
Folding is a process in which bending is localized at sharp edges separated by almost undeformed elements. This process is rarely encountered in Nature, although some exceptions can be found in unusual layered rock formations (called 'chevrons') and seashell patterns (for instance Lopha cristagalli). In mechanics, the bending of a three-dimensional elastic solid is common (for example, in bulk ...
متن کاملEffect of detachment levels, thrust and basement strike-slip faults on structural geometry of the Naft anticline in the Lurestan zone, West Iran
The Naft anticline with NW-SE trend is located in north of the Lurestan sub-zone and the Zagros fold and thrust belt. Thrust and basement strike-slip faults and detachment levels play an important role in the structural geometry of the folded structures in this is sub-zone. In this research, deformational pattern and structural geometry of the Naft anticline hane been studied using constration...
متن کاملStructural concepts for Soltanieh fault zone (NW Iran)
Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...
