Crustal Evolution in the SW Part of the Baltic Shield: the Hf Isotope Evidence
The results of a laser ablation microprobe–inductively coupled by the more widely used samarium–neodymium system (e.g. Dickin, 1995). As a tracer of petrogenetic processes, plasma mass spectrometry Lu–Hf isotope study of zircons in however, Lu–Hf has one important advantage over Sm– 0·93–1·67 Ga rocks from south Norway indicate that early Nd: zircons retain a robust memory of their initial Hf P...
متن کاملFragmentation of wall rock garnets during deep crustal earthquakes
Fractures and faults riddle the Earth's crust on all scales, and the deformation associated with them is presumed to have had significant effects on its petrological and structural evolution. However, despite the abundance of directly observable earthquake activity, unequivocal evidence for seismic slip rates along ancient faults is rare and usually related to frictional melting and the formati...
متن کاملLarge Earthquakes and Crustal Deformation Near Taiwan
Source parameters of 15 large (mb -> 6) earthquakes which occurred near Taiwan during the last 25 years are determined by synthetic seismogram analysis of teleseismic P and S waveforms. Source depths range from 13 to 88 km. Three earthquakes of intermediate depth are located within the southernmost limit of the Ryukyu arc and show thrust-type mechanisms with T axes subparallel to a northward di...
متن کاملCrustal structure and upper mantle stratigraphy of the Arabian shield
[1] Analysis of receiver functions from an eight-station network on the Saudi Arabian shield indicates that the Moho depths vary between 35–38 km. The crust appears to be rather felsic in nature as evidenced by Poisson’s ratios of 0.25–0.27. A prominent negative phase following the Moho conversion is suggestive of a zone of velocity inversion. Indication of mantle stratification is observed ben...
متن کاملConstraining Crustal Anisotropy by Receiver Functions at the Deep Continental Drilling Site KTB in Southern Germany
As one of the rare observational tools for studying deformation and stress within the Earth, seismic anisotropy has been one of the focuses of geophysical studies over the last decade. In order to unravel the anisotropic properties of the crust, the teleseismic receiver functions (RF) methodology has started to be widely applied recently. Such effects of anisotropy on RF were illustrated in the...
