The tectonic evolution of Antarctica
Five tectonic provinces; three volcanic provinces (each characteristic of a particular set of tectonic conditions) and a Precambrian shield, are outlined and described, in an attempt to illustrate the tectonic evolution of Antarctica. Evidence is presented for at least three structural stages in …

Tectonic evolution of the Corinth Rift
The evolution of extensional processes at continental rift zones provides important constraints on the underlying lithospheric deformation mechanisms, level of seismic hazard and location of likely hydrocarbon traps. The Corinth rift in central Greece is one of the few examples that has experienced …

Plio-pleistocene tectonic evolution of Southern Sardinia
… the kinematic related to the Plio-Pleistocene tectonics in southern Sardinia, although tectonic activity during the latest million years is long since known in the Island. Then, the general aim of this research is to improve the understanding of the recent geological evolution of the southern …

The tectonic evolution of the western Tien Shan
… deformation usually is a result of tectonic forces associated with distant plate collisions. In general, the evolution of mountain ranges and basins in this environment is strongly controlled by the distribution and geometries of preexisting structures. Thus, predictive models …

Tectonic evolution and midplate volcanism in the South Pacific
… of a locked fracture zone may be obscured by tectonic effects, and there is no evidence for the release of shear stress on the fracture zone by vertical slip after leaving the active transform. One such small change in plate motion is documented in the South ern Austral Island region of the …

Tectonic evolution of the Western Limassol Forest Complex, Cyprus
… with the Troodos massif basalts suggests a tectonic history involving rapid extension across the WLFC and adiabatic melting of the upper mantle producing boninitic magmas. The regional setting for the WLFC suggests a model of formation involving the development of a transtensional transform …

Tectonic evolution of Taranaki Basin, offshore New Zealand, The
… stratigraphic response to the region’s polyphase tectonic history. Using Schlumberger’s Petrel software, 2D and 3D seismic data are structurally and stratigraphically interpreted and depth-converted, and three depth-converted regional cross-sections are sequentially restored through 14 time …

The tectonic evolution of the North Central Caribbean plate margin
… with all available information in a study of the tectonic development of the Cayman Trough and the Greater Antilles Ridge. This development is connected with the relative motions of the North and South Americas and the eastern Pacific plates. Thus, the pre-Tertiary history of the region is one of …

The tectonic evolution of the Eastern Limassol Forest Complex, Cyprus
The Eastern Limassol Forest Complex (ELFC) lies at the southern margin of the Troodos ophiolite, Cyprus, and preserves a Penrose-type stratigraphy with a 4km-thick crustal sequence. The ELFC is separated from the main part of the Troodos Massif by an east-west trending fault zone, the Arakapas …

Magmatic And Tectonic Evolution Of Southern Tibet And The Himalaya

Cenozoic Tectonic Evolution of the Eastern Cordillera and Adjacent Basins
… various stages of deformation. Knowledge of the tectonic processes and stress evolution in the area is important in understanding the geodynamic processes at work in the region, as well as the kinematics of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the flanks of the range.</p> <p>GPS results show that the North …

The tectonic evolution of the Altavista area, Southwest Virginia Piedmont
The Altavista area lies at the north end of a large area of continuous detailed mapping in the proposed westward thrusted Smith River Allochthon of the Southwest Virginia Piedmont. It also lies at the south end of an area of continuous mapping in the central Virginia Piedmont. The stratigraphy of …
