Australia–SE Asia collision: plate tectonics and crustal flow
The Sundaland core of SE Asia is a heterogeneous assemblage of Tethyan sutures and Gondwana fragments. Its complex basement structure was one major influence on Cenozoic tectonics; the rifting history of the north Australian margin was another. Fragments that rifted from Australia in the Jurassic collided with Sundaland in the Cretaceous and terminated subduction. From 90 to 45 Ma Sundaland was...
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 کاملPeridotites Related to 4vesta: Deep Crustal Igneous Cumulates and Mantle
In advance of the arrival of the DAWN spacecraft at 4Vesta in 2011, it is useful to reassess our knowledge of the constitution and probable evolution of this ancient differentiated asteroid. It has been recognized for some time that the eucrite, diogenite and howardite meteorites likely represent samples from 4Vesta or from related Vestoids based upon the good match of reflectance spectra of th...
متن کاملThe Crustal Structure
This thesis consists of three papers examining problems related to the crustal structure, isostasy and subsidence history of aseismic ridges and mid-plate island chains. Analysis of gravity and bathymetry data across the Ninetyeast and eastern Walvis Ridges indicates these features are locally compensated by an overthickening of the oceanic crust. Maximum crustal thicknesses are 15-30 km. The w...
