Kinematic variability of late Cenozoic fault systems and contrasting mountain building processes in the Alxa block, western China

چکیده
Abstract In this study, new structural field data and geological observations are coupled with remote sensing analysis compilation of previous published work to establish a kinematic framework for the neotectonic reactivation Alxa block, China. The block occupies key position in Central Asia north east contractional sinistrally transpressive deforming zones Qilianshan-Hexi Corridor-easternmost Altyn Tagh Fault Beishan belts, south southernmost Gobi Altai, west – or overlapping - Ordos extensional transtensional graben systems. addition, is internally transected by important fault systems (Bayan Nuru, Bayanwula, Chahanbulage) that record previously unrecognized Late Cenozoic activity. Active mountain building processes show remarkable variation from large horst blocks (Helanshan, SW Langshan, Yabrai) localized uplifts along sinistral wrench-belts (Bigesitai) dominantly (Longshoushan) transpressional ranges (Helishan). triangular wedge-shape likely pre-disposed it eastward extrusion response NE-directed India-Eurasia collision-derived compressional stresses south, E-W tensional forces driven Pacific margin rollback east. A combination inherited regional lithospheric structure modern east-directed geodetically derived crustal velocity led to: 1) thinning subsidence Ejina basin wake extruding 2) distributed transtension extension within interior, Hetao Yinchuan grabens

We model crustal deformation and the resulting thermal structure across the Nepal Himalaya, assuming that, since 20Ma, shortening across the range has been primarily taken up by slip along a single thrust fault, the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) Fault, and that the growth of the Himalayan wedge has resulted mainly from underplating and to the development of a duplex at midcrustal depth. We show t...

15 صفحه اولLate Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the northwestern Tien Shan: New age estimates for the initiation of mountain building
The Tien Shan are the quintessential intracontinental range, situated more than 1000 km north of the suture between India and Asia. Their initiation and growth in the Cenozoic, however, remain poorly understood. In this study we present stratigraphic, detrital fission-track, and magnetostratigraphic results that provide a basis for reconstructing the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Kyrgyz Ra...
