Modeling, Visualizing, and Understanding Complex Tectonic Structures on the Surface and in the Sub-Surface
<p>Plate tectonics is a relatively new theory with many details of plate dynamics which remain to be worked out. Moving plates can interact by divergence, lateral sliding, convergence, or collision. At a convergent plate boundary, a lithospheric slab of oceanic crust and upper mantle is subducted …

Characterization of active tectonic structures of the Etna volcano, through geophysical surveys, analysis of site response and deformation
… order to highlight the seismo-stratigraphic and tectonic behavior of subsoil, as well as, to the characterization of the deformation field related to the fault segments, through the implementation of a new geodetic monitoring network (GEO-UNICT geodetic network). The results allowed to obtain …

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PUMA DIAPIR, GULF OF MEXICO BASIN
… sedimentary load created complex gravity-induced tectonic structures, resulting in various salt stocks and canopies forming in the Louann Salt. This research aims to characterize the structure surrounding the Puma Diapir, located in the southeastern region of the Green Canyon Protraction of the …

The oligo-miocene sediments of the Maltese Islands
… in western Malta is also discussed.A number of tectonic structures previously referred to as "sinks" are re-defined, and a prolonged episode of Cainozoic cavern development, associated with subaerial and submarine subsidence is postulated on the basis of structural and sedimentological …

Teleseismic P Wave Attenuation in the Upper Mantle Beneath the United States
… areas of higher mantle temperatures. The active tectonic structures in the western U.S. and presence of partial melts associated with widespread volcanism would cause increased elastic scattering in the same region where thin lithosphere and high mantle temperatures predict greater intrinsic …

Imaging subduction zones: slab structure, fluids, and fault slip
… magnitude of hydration depends heavily on the tectonic structure of the incoming plate, which can vary significantly over short along-strike distances, with regions of increased faulting and internal deformation enhancing fluid storage capacity. However, how these structural variations, and …

Tectonic and climatic controls on orogenic processes : the Northwest Himalaya, India
… role of feedback between erosional unloading and tectonics controlling the development of the Himalaya is a matter of current debate. The distribution of precipitation is thought to control surface erosion, which in turn results in tectonic exhumation as an isostatic compensation process. …

Late Pleistocene-Holocene sedimentary processes at the active margin of South-Central Chile : marine and lacustrine sediment records as archives of tectonics and climate variability
… are affected by complex feedbacks between tectonic, climate and surface processes, the intricate relations of which are still a matter of discussion. The Chilean convergent margin, forming the outstanding Andean subduction orogen, constitutes an ideal natural laboratory for the …

Palaeozoic Palaeomagnetism of South-Eastern Australia
… in order to better constrain the complex tectonic history of this region and to help clarifying the APW path of Gondwana. The construction of an APW path is discussed herein. An attempt is made to determine whether only “objective” criteria can be employed to select data used to draw an …
