Why do continents break-up parallel to ancient orogenic belts?
The frequently observed parallelism between rifts and the pre existing orogenic fabric of continents suggests that the inherited tectonic fabric of the lithosphere influences the rupture of continents. We propose that the existence of a pervasive fabric in the lithospheric mantle induces an anisotropie strength in the lithosphere, that guides the propagation of continental rifts. Subcrustal ma...
متن کاملCharacteristics of mantle fabrics beneath the south-central United States: Constraints from shear-wave splitting measurements
New shear-wave splitting measurements at permanent broadband seismic stations in the south-central United States reveal the orientation and degree of polarization of mantle fabrics, and provide constraints on models for the formation of these fabrics. For stations on the stable North American craton, correspondence between observed polarization direction of the fast wave and the trend of Proter...
متن کاملSynthesis of skeletal diamonds: Implications for microdiamond formation in orogenic belts
Figure 1. Secondary-electron scanning electron microscope images showing morphologies of (A) natural and (B, D, and E) synthetic diamonds. C: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum for diamond in B. Natural diamonds are separates from felsic gneiss of Kokchetav massif, Kazakhstan. Synthetic diamonds are crystallized from graphite 1 Mg(OH)2 systems and exhibit irregular skeletal morphology similar to ...
متن کاملGeophysical inversion using petrophysical constraints
Petrophysical information is sometimes available from well logs, laboratory measurements, etc. It has been shown that incorporation of such information into geophysical inversions can greatly improve the recovered models. However, when the known petrophysical information is not applicable throughout the entire region, the application of petrophysical constraints to geophysical inversions could ...
متن کاملMiddle Paleozoic convergent orogenic belts in western Inner Mongolia (China): framework, kinematics, geochronology and implications for tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Based mainly on field geological observation and geochronologic data, six tectonic units have been recognized in western Inner Mongolia (China), including, from south to north: North China Craton (NCC), Southern Orogenic Belt (SOB), Hunshandake Block (HB), Northern Orogenic Belt (NOB), South Mongolia microcontinent (SMM), and Southern margin of Ergun Block (SME), suggesting that the tectonic fr...
