Why do continents break-up parallel to ancient orogenic belts?
The frequently observed parallelism between rifts and the pre existing orogenic fabric of continents suggests that the inherited tectonic fabric of the lithosphere influences the rupture of continents. We propose that the existence of a pervasive fabric in the lithospheric mantle induces an anisotropie strength in the lithosphere, that guides the propagation of continental rifts. Subcrustal ma...
متن کاملSynthesis of skeletal diamonds: Implications for microdiamond formation in orogenic belts
Figure 1. Secondary-electron scanning electron microscope images showing morphologies of (A) natural and (B, D, and E) synthetic diamonds. C: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum for diamond in B. Natural diamonds are separates from felsic gneiss of Kokchetav massif, Kazakhstan. Synthetic diamonds are crystallized from graphite 1 Mg(OH)2 systems and exhibit irregular skeletal morphology similar to ...
متن کاملMiddle Paleozoic convergent orogenic belts in western Inner Mongolia (China): framework, kinematics, geochronology and implications for tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Based mainly on field geological observation and geochronologic data, six tectonic units have been recognized in western Inner Mongolia (China), including, from south to north: North China Craton (NCC), Southern Orogenic Belt (SOB), Hunshandake Block (HB), Northern Orogenic Belt (NOB), South Mongolia microcontinent (SMM), and Southern margin of Ergun Block (SME), suggesting that the tectonic fr...
متن کاملDiffuse fluid flux through orogenic belts: implications for the world ocean.
Fifty years ago a classic paper by W. W. Rubey [(1951) Geol. Soc. Am. Bull. 62, 1111-1148] examined various hypotheses regarding the origin of sea water and concluded that the most likely hypothesis was volcanic outgassing, a view that was generally accepted by earth scientists for the next several decades. More recent work suggests that the rate of subduction of water is much larger than the v...
متن کاملSi isotope variability in Proterozoic cherts
We report Si-isotopic compositions of 75 sedimentologically and petrographically characterized chert samples with ages ranging from 2600 to 750 Ma using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. dSi values of the cherts analyzed in this study show a 7& range, from 4.29 to +2.85. This variability can be explained in part by (1) simple mixing of silica derived from continental...
