15 صفحه اولSeismic Evaluation of Differential Tectonic Subsidence, Compaction, and Loading in an Interior Basin, Thomas H. Wilson
Quantitative analysis of depth-converted reflection times defines long-term differential motion across individual structures in a central Appalachian interior basin known as the Rome trough. Differential motion decreases exponentially with time. Rotation about a hinge defining the trough’s west margin reached approximately 37% of total displacement in about 63–78 million years (m.y.). Displacem...
متن کاملTectonic control of subsidence and southward displacement of southeast Louisiana with respect to stable North America
[1] GPS data collected between 1995 and 2006 suggest that southeast Louisiana, including New Orleans and the larger Mississippi Delta, are both subsiding vertically and moving southward with respect to stable North America. Both motions are likely related due to their common tectonic setting. Subsidence in the New Orleans area occurs in part because it is located in the hanging wall of a large ...
متن کاملQuantitative subsidence analysis of the Mesozoic evolution of the Lusitanian basin (western Iberian margin)
Quantitative subsidence analysis of 26 wells in the Lusitanian basin provides new constraints on the western Iberian Mesozoic passive margin development. Backstripped tectonic subsidence curves show a three-fold subdivision of vertical motions from Late Triassic onward. Continental rifting was initiated during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic. From Middle Jurassic onward a distinct differen...
متن کامل3D Flexure and intraplate compression in the North Sea Basin
We apply a recently developed 3D flexure model incorporating lateral variations in flexural rigidity (EET) and necking depth (zn) to study the 3D effects of intraplate stresses on Quaternary accelerated subsidence and uplift in the North Sea Basin and adjacent areas. In the model approach lateral variations and magnitude of predicted Quaternary vertical motions are largely dependent on the pre-...
