Active tectonics and intracontinental earthquakes in China: The kinematics and geodynamics
China is a country of intense intracontinental seismicity. Most earthquakes in western China occur within the diffuse Indo-Eurasian plate-boundary zone, which extends thousands of kilometers into Asia. Earthquakes in eastern China mainly occur within the North China block, which is part of the Archean Sino-Korean craton that has been thermally rejuvenated since late Mesozoic. Here, we summarize...
متن کاملU-Pb geochronology of the Grenville Orogen of Ontario and New York: constraints on ancient crustal tectonics
Based on lithological, structural and geophysical characteristics, the Proterozoic Grenville Orogen of southern Ontario and New York has been divided into domains that are separated from each other by ductile shear zones. In order to constrain the timing of metamorphism, U-Pb ages were determined on metamorphic and igneous sphenes from marbles, calc-silicate gneisses, amphibolites, granitoids, ...
متن کاملCausation in Meso-History
1 Goal of paper This paper takes a specific objective: to identify and analyze the methodological and conceptual conditions that are involved in postulating causal relations among meso-historical entities, structures, and processes. What is the nature of the causal relations among structures and entities that make up the social world? What sorts of mechanisms are available to substantiate causa...
متن کاملWeakness of the Intracontinental Strike-Slip Kunlun Fault and Implications for Tibetan Tectonics
An analysis of fault-related fold structures and the focal mechanisms of large earthquakes reveals that the maximum horizontal stress is oriented sub-perpendicular to the intracontinental strike-slip Kunlun Fault, which triggered the 1997 Mw 7.6 Manyi and 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquakes upon the northern Tibetan Plateau. Based on seismic inversion results and in situ measurements of stress perfo...
متن کاملMetamorphism in the Ross orogen and its bearing on Gondwana margin tectonics
The Ross orogen of Antarctica is one of Earth’s great Phanerozoic mountain belts. It is thought from igneous geochemistry, deformation patterns, and sedimentation history to be the result of late Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic plate-margin convergence between paleo-Pacifi c oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere represented by the composite East Antarctic shield. Convergence along ...
