An integrated crustal velocity field for the central Andes
[1] Abstract: We present an integrated velocity field for the central Andes, derived from GPS observations collected between January 1993 and March 2001 that eliminates the velocity bias between the South America-Nazca Plate Project (SNAPP) and central Andes GPS Project (CAP) velocity fields published by Norabuena et al. [1998] and Bevis et al. [1999]. The reference frame is realized by minimiz...
متن کاملCrustal thickness beneath the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas at 30 S inferred from Pn apparent phase velocities
[1] We obtained a 2D crustal model beneath central Chile and western Argentina using apparent Pn phase velocities recorded along an EW trending transect at 30 S. This model is characterized by a thick (65 km) crustal root beneath the High Cordillera, a 60 km thick crust beneath the Precordillera, and a gradual shallowing of Moho depths beneath the Sierras Pampeanas from 55 km in the west to 40 ...
متن کاملthe role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union
پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...
15 صفحه اولVelocity structure of the Andes of central Peru from locally recorded earthquakes
Arrival-times of local events recorded during two short term seismic ficd investigations in ccntral Peru are used to determine the P and S velocity structures above the slab, in a segment of the Andes where the subduction is horizontal. The velocities in the upper-crust can be related to the sedimentary cover. The Moho depth is estimated to be nbuut 50 km below the western part of the sub-Andea...
متن کاملCrustal contributions to arc magmatism in the Andes of Central Chile
Fifteen andesite-dacite stratovolcanoes on the volcanic front of a single segment of the Andean arc show along-arc changes in isotopic and elemental ratios that demonstrate large crustal contributions to magma genesis. All 15 centers lie 90 km above the Benioff zone and 280 _+ 20 km from the trench axis. Rate and geometry of subduction and composition and age of subducted sediments and seafloor...
