Tectonic evolution of the Khoy ophiolitic complex, NW Iran
The Khoy Ophiolitic Complex (KOC) as a part of Tethyan, Izmir-Ankara- Erzincan and Bitlis-Zagros sutures of South East (SE) Turkey is broadly exposed around Khoy region (NW Iran). This complex comprises dismembered fragments of mantle lithosphere, obducted oceanic lithosphere and parts of volcanic arc remnants. The Khoy Ophiolitic Complex can be structurally divided into two major eastern and w...
متن کاملEarth's youngest exposed granite and its tectonic implications: the 10–0.8 Ma Kurobegawa Granite
Although the quest for Earth's oldest rock is of great importance, identifying the youngest exposed pluton on Earth is also of interest. A pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock that crystallized from slowly cooling magma at depths of several kilometers beneath the surface of the Earth. Therefore, the youngest exposed pluton represents the most recent tectonic uplift and highest exhumation....
متن کاملTectonic evolution of the terrestrial planets.
The style and evolution of tectonics on the terrestrial planets differ substantially. The style is related to the thickness of the lithosphere and to whether the lithosphere is divided into distinct, mobile plates that can be recycled into the mantle, as on Earth, or is a single spherical shell, as on the moon, Mars, and Mercury. The evolution of a planetary lithosphere and the development of p...

متن کاملOsmium Isotope Constraints on Tectonic Evolution of the Lithosphere in the Southwestern United States
The Re-Os isotope system is increasingly providing new insight into continental dynamics due to the fact that it is the only radiogenic isotope system that provides information on melt depletion events (hence lithosphere formation) in the uppermost mantle. Here we review application of the ReOs isotopic system to dating melt depletion in peridotites. In particular, we highlight examples of how ...
