Carboniferous magmatism in southwestern Iberia was continuously active for more than 60 m.y. during the development of Appalachian-Variscan belt North America, Africa and Western-Central Europe. This collisional orogen that records closure Rheic Ocean is essential to understanding late Paleozoic amalgamation Pangea supercontinent. However, oblique convergence between Laurussia Gondwana lasted f...

The Clarke River Fault in northeast Queensland records an early Paleozoic history of subduction, accretion and continental suturing. Samples mafic–ultramafic rocks collected proximal to the record oceanic geochemical affinities comprise alteration assemblages consistent with ophiolitic origin. ca 456 Ma Falls Creek Tonalite a continental-arc signature was formed response long-lived subduction b...

Extensional and transtensional continental arc basins preserve very thick, continuous sequences and are an important contributor to the growth of continents; therefore, it is important to understand how they evolve. In this chapter, I describe four continental arc basin types, using Mesozoic to Cenozoic case studies from the SW US: (1) early-stage, low-lying extensional; (2) early-stage, low-ly...

The Muria-Peninsula is a Quaternary volcano located in the northern Sunda arc. Its activity was controlled under high potassic and very magma series resulting leucite-rich trachyte pyroxene-rich basaltic-andesite. It strato-type that composed of lava, breccia, tuff layers, some dikes have volcanic craters maars varying age composition. study area covering volcanoes Muria, Genuk, Patiayam. This ...
