Introduction: Anatomy of rifting: Tectonics and magmatism in continental rifts, oceanic spreading centers, and transforms
Research at continental rifts, mid-ocean ridges, and transforms has shown that new plates are created by extensional tectonics, magma intrusion, and volcanism. Studies of a wide variety of extensional processes ranging from plate thinning to magma intrusion have helped scientists understand how continents are broken apart to form ocean basins. However, deformation processes vary significantly d...
متن کاملOceanic mafic magmatism in the Siletz terrane, NW North America: Fragments of an Eocene oceanic plateau?
Article history: Received 11 October 2016 Accepted 5 January 2017 Available online 14 January 2017 The Siletz terrane, a predominantly mafic accreted oceanic terrane, is located in the Cascadia forearc region of Oregon, Washington and Vancouver Island. The terrane represents a late Palaeocene–Eocene large igneous province that consists of pillow lavas, massive flows and intrusive sheets. Previo...
متن کاملProterozoic crustal evolution in the NW Himalaya (India) as recorded by circa 1.80 Ga mafic and 1.84 Ga granitic magmatism
Single zircon dating of the Rampur metabasalts of the Larji–Kullu–Rampur window in the Lesser Himalayas yielded an evaporation age of 1800913 Ma. The zircon age is considerably younger than the previously published whole rock Sm–Nd age of 2510990 Ma, suggesting that the Sm–Nd age may be geologically meaningless and that the Sm–Nd whole rock array may have resulted from mixing. In the NW Himalay...
متن کاملWhat caused the Early Silurian change from mafic to silicic (S-type) magmatism in the eastern Lachlan Fold Belt?
One of the characteristic features of Ordovician tectonism in the east Lachlan Fold Belt is the occurrence of calcalkaline to shoshonitic basalts, which have been recognised as part of an intraoceanic arc environment (Glen et al. 1998), consistent with early tectonic interpretations (Oversby 1971; Scheibner 1973). Aside from typical traceelement abundances of intraoceanic arcs, critical evidenc...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
