Abstract The Southern Depression of the Southwest Taiwan Basin is an ENE‐trending wide rift in northeastern South China Sea margin. Though known as highly thinned, maximum degree crustal extension remains unclear. Here, we present three NW‐trending multi‐channel seismic profiles crossing depression askew, and another profile traversing it, all which image basement Moho clearly. deepens toward a...

in this study, the development of structural elements and the relationship between these elements and dikes emplacements investigated by the field surveys and analysis of satellite images of the east dasht-e bayaz fault zone. in this area nnw-sse (t2) and nw-se trending dikes are which follow the fractures of the region. we measured geometric characters of dikes (such as thickness, attitude, di...

It is generally accepted that during the Mesozoic NE−NNE-trending folds overprinted E−W-trending to form Longshan dome in central South China continent, although interference map does not tell relative ages of fold sets. In an effort deepen our understanding process reworking paleostress analysis using calcite twins was carried out this study verify or falsify model. Ten limestone samples were ...
