Geological models of subduction zones impact thinking about many of the central problems in the structure, dynamics, chemistry, and history of the solid earth. Should those models change, the effects will reach across the earth sciences. We are currently in the midst of such a change, brought on by several causes. First, the earth science community recently began an organized, multi-disciplinar...
متن کاملPlate tectonic reconstructions with continuously closing plates
We present a new algorithm for modeling a self-consistent set of global plate polygons. Each plate polygon is composed of a finite list of plate margins, all with different Euler poles. We introduce a "Continuously Closed Plate" (CCP), such that, as each margin moves independently, the plate polygon remains closed geometrically as a function of time. This method solves emerging needs in computa...
متن کاملTiming of tectonic events in the Alpujárride Complex, Betic Cordillera, southern Spain
Ar–Ar and fission-track dating from four low-grade sections in the Alpujárride Complex sheds light on the timing of the early contractional history of these high-pressure metamorphic units, and their subsequent exhumation during the early Miocene extensional collapse of the Betic orogen. White mica grains from the lowest-grade rocks yield partly reset detrital Ar–Ar ages; where deformation and ...
متن کاملRecent Tectonic Structures in a Transect of the Central Betic Cordillera
The Betic Cordillera has undergone recent Alpine deformations related to the EurasianAfrican plate interaction boundary. Most of the present-day relief has been built up since Tortonian times, and is related to the development of folds and faults that are overprinted on older deformations, and some of the faults may be considered as out-of-sequence. The combination of geophysical and geological...
متن کاملPetrogenesis and Tectonic Setting of the Young Volcanic Adakitic Rocks in Darehzereshk’s Hassan abad (SW Yazd)
Sciences, Kharazmi University Introduction Petrogenesis of continental magmatic arc is more complicated than oceanic arcs. Because some various parameters affect the composition of magmatism in the congenital margin, such as continental crust contamination, mixing with crustal magmas and the deformation phenomena from primary mantle magma (Martin et al., 2005; Eyuboglu et al., 2018; Pawley and...
