Modes of extensional faulting controlled by surface processes
We investigate the feedbacks between surface processes and tectonics in an extensional setting by coupling a 2-D geodynamical model with a landscape evolution law. Focusing on the evolution of a single normal fault, we show that surface processes significantly enhance the amount of horizontal extension a fault can accommodate before being abandoned in favor of a new fault. In simulations with v...
متن کاملExtensional tectonics in the Caledonides of southern Norway, an overview
The extensional collapse of the Scandinavian Caledonides resulted in rapid tectonic denudation of the orogen, exhumation of highand ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks and provided a structural template for the formation of Devonian supra-detachment sedimentary basins. The geometry and intensity of the extensional deformation show considerable variation vertically in the crustal section as we...
متن کاملAn Extensional Spatial Logic for Mobile Processes
Existing spatial logics for concurrency are intensional, in the sense that they induce an equivalence that coincides with structural congruence. In this work, we study a contextual spatial logic for the πcalculus, which lacks the spatial operators to observe emptyness, parallel composition and restriction, and only has composition adjunct and hiding. We show that the induced logical equivalence...
متن کاملLate Mesozoic extensional tectonics in the North China block: a crustal response to subcontinental mantle removal?
– In the North China block, Cretaceous extensional tectonics is expressed by numerous syntectonic plutons bounded by ductile normal faults and several metamorphic core complexes (MCC). Cretaceous half-grabens filled by continental terrigenous deposits are widespread. The examples of MCC from South Liaoning Peninsula, Yiwulüshan, Hohhot as well as the Yunmengshan syntectonic pluton spread along ...
متن کاملLandscape evolution: the interactions of tectonics and surface processes
The last decade has witnessed a resurrection of historical decadal geodetic rates provide a reasonable proxy for the long-term rates of plate motions (Donnellan et al., 1993; concepts and controversies concerning the evolution of landscapes in active tectonic regimes. New insights into Abdrakhmatov et al., 1996). If true, geodetic measurements provide an accurate snapshot of the tectonic forcin...
