Salt tectonics and collapse of Hebes Chasma, Valles Marineris, Mars
A photogeologic and physical modeling study indicates that Hebes Chasma, Mars, formed by collapse of the megaregolith. Local heating facilitated drainage of ~105 km3 of brines and entrained particulates through fractures in the chasma fl oor and into a regional aquifer. A megaregolith rich in salts and water is implied by massive, low-gradient allochthonous fl ows that terminate in deep pits an...
متن کاملInvestigation of active tectonics in Koohrang region with a special look at the behavior of Koohrang salt dome
Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...
متن کاملCharon tectonics
New Horizons images of Pluto's companion Charon show a variety of terrains that display extensional tectonic features, with relief surprising for this relatively small world. These features suggest a global extensional areal strain of order 1% early in Charon's history. Such extension is consistent with the presence of an ancient global ocean, now frozen.
متن کاملPlanetary tectonics: introduction
The geocentric realm of tectonics changed with the dawn of robotic exploration of the other bodies of the solar system. A diverse assortment of tectonic landforms has been revealed, some familiar and some with no analogues to terrestrial structural features. In this chapter, we briefly introduce some of the major topics in the book. The chapters review what is known about the tectonics on Mercu...
متن کاملHuman Transposon Tectonics
Mobile DNAs have had a central role in shaping our genome. More than half of our DNA is comprised of interspersed repeats resulting from replicative copy and paste events of retrotransposons. Although most are fixed, incapable of templating new copies, there are important exceptions to retrotransposon quiescence. De novo insertions cause genetic diseases and cancers, though reliably detecting t...
