Himalayan Metamorphism and Its Tectonic Implications
The Himalayan range exposes a spectacular assemblage of metamorphic rocks from the midand deep crust that have fostered numerous models of how the crust responds to continental collisions. Recent petrogenetically based petrologic and geochronologic studies elucidate processes with unprecedented resolution and critically test models that range from continuum processes to one-time events. The pro...
متن کاملTectonic Implications of Subcrustal, Normal Faulting Earthquakes in the Western Shikoku Region, Japan
Tectonic implications of subcrustal, normal faulting earthquakes in the western Shikoku region have been investigated in sorme detail, mainly based on the faulting mechanism of the Bungo channel earthquake of August 6, 1968 (M=6.6, h=45km) and its aftershocks. A synthetic study of the focal mechanism solution, spatial distribution of aftershocks, seismic waves observed in the near and far field...
متن کاملTectonic and Volcanic Evolution of Dark Terrain and Its Implications for the Internal Structure and Evolution of Ganymede
Furrows in ancient dark terrain on Ganymede form three systems that are each hemispheric or greater in scale. The oldest of the systems, designated system ]II, is dominated by approximately concentric troughs centered on about 60øN,50øW. System I, in the anti-Jovian hemisphere, contains concentric and subradial furrows arrayed around a large, degraded palimpsest centered at 15øS,165øW. Furrows ...
متن کاملQuaternary tectonic faulting in the Eastern United States
Paleoseismological study of geologic features thought to result from Quaternary tectonic faulting can characterize the frequencies and sizes of large prehistoric and historical earthquakes, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of seismichazard assessments. Greater accuracy and precision can reduce the likelihood of both underprotection and unnecessary design and construction costs. Publ...
متن کامل36. Late Miocene Paleoenvironments and Tectonic Setting of the Southern
During drilling of Leg 160 in the Eastern Mediterranean (April−May, 1995), Messinian (i.e., uppermost Miocene) facies were identified at a site at the base of the Cyprus slope (Site 968) and at two sites on the Eratosthenes Seamount (Sites 965 and 967). The new results can be compared with the recovery of Messinian evaporites from the Florence Rise west of Cyprus (Deep Sea Drilling Project Site...
