Recognition of fundamental tectonic boundaries has been extremely difficult in the (>1000-km-wide) Proterozoic accretionary orogen southwestern North America, where main rock types are similar over large areas, and region experienced multiple postaccretionary deformation events. Discrete ultramafic bodies present a number areas that may mark important boundaries, especially if they can b...
TEM and XRD techniques were used to study crystal growth characteristics of the fabric-forming phyllosilicates which developed in response to low-grade metamorphism and tectonic imbrication in part of the Southern Uplands thrust terrane. Prograde regional metamorphism, ranging from late diagenesis through the anchizone to the epizone, was accompanied by the development of a slaty cleavage which...
We analyze the seismic moment-frequency relation in various depth ranges and for different seismic regions, using Flinn-Engdahl’s regionalization of global seismicity. Three earthquake lists of centroid-moment tensor data have been used: the Harvard catalog, the USGS catalog, and the HUANG et al. (1997) catalog of deep earthquakes. The results confirm the universality of the b-values and the ma...
Introduction Baumgardner (1986, 1990, 1994a, 1994b) has advanced the proposition that the essential process responsible for the large-scale tectonic changes contemporaneous with the Genesis Flood was runaway subduction of the pre-Flood oceanic lithosphere. Precursory to the runaway would be some pattern of stress concentration and shear zone formation in the pre-Flood lithosphere, concentrated ...
Erosion, sediment production, and routing on a tectonically active continental margin reflect both tectonic and climatic processes; partitioning the relative importance of these processes remains controversial. Gulf of Alaska contains a preserved sedimentary record of the Yakutat Terrane collision with North America. Because tectonic convergence in the coastal St. Elias orogen has been roughly ...
The Apollo Lunar Sounder Experiment (ALSE) detected two subsurface reflecting horizons in southern Mare Serenitatis. These horizons appear to be regolith layers, >2 m thick, which correlate with major stratigraphic boundaries in southeastern Mare Serenitatis. Our analysis differs from previous interpretations and implies that the lower horizon represents the interface between the earliest mare ...
Aims and Backgrounds: Almost no area in the world can be found that has not been affected by tectonic processes. The morpho-tectonic indices of the basin are used to investigate the active tectonics. Morphometry can be defined as the quantitative measurement of the shape of the Earth's landscape that using these quantitative measurements can identify areas with active tectonics. The purpose o...
Fuchs, L. 2016. Strain quantifications in different tectonic scales using numerical modelling. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1354. 58 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9513-8. This thesis focuses on calculation of finite and progressive deformation in different tectonic scales using 2D numerical mod...
Quantitative assessment of relative tectonic activity in the Alamarvdasht river basin, south of Iran
Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (Vf), dra...
