The continental collision and subduction between the North China Craton Yangtze Plate resulted in complex multistage tectonic episodes of Tanlu fault zone. To adequately understand geodynamic processes collision, we construct a high-resolution shear-wave velocity model crust uppermost mantle using full-wave ambient noise tomographic method based on new broadband dense seismic array across Our r...

[1] Rifting of passive margins has, in some places, led to the development of extensive submerged continental platforms. Crustal thinning by a factor of two or more is at least partially accommodated by high-angle normal faults that extend through the brittle upper crust to the ductile parts of the lower crust. However, an approximately horizontal detachment zone has been postulated to explain ...

The relationships between brittle detachment faulting and ductile shear zones in metamorphic core complexes are often ambiguous. Although it is commonly assumed that these two structures kinematically linked genetically related, direct observations of this coupling rare. Here, we conducted a detailed field investigation to probe the connection fault mylonitic zone Ruby Mountain–East Humboldt Ra...

Models for the origin and deformation of Himalayan rocks are dependent upon geometric and age relationships between major units. We present fi eld mapping and U-Pb dating of igneous and detrital zircons that establish the lithostratigraphic architecture of the eastern Himalaya, revealing that: (1) the South Tibet detachment along the BhutanChina border is a top-to-the-north ductile shear zone; ...

AIMS The correlation between cryoscars and visual field defects following cryoablation was studied. METHODS A Humphrey 120 full field screening test was performed in 10 children (15 eyes) who were treated by cryotherapy between 10 and 14 years previously for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage 3. RESULTS In eight eyes treated by cryoablation through 360 degrees in zone I or II, a moderat...
