Compression of Oceanic Lithosphere: An Analysis of Intraplate Deformation in the Central Indian Basin
Intraplate compressional deformation in the Central Indian Basin is expressed as linear E-W trending topographic undulations and geoid anomlies with characteristic spacings of approximately 200 km. To elucidate the nature of this deformation, we develop models of an oceanic lithosphere in a state of horizontal compression. The lithosphere is treated as a viscous or plastic layer of uniform stre...
متن کاملOcean Currents Modeling along the Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea and the Northern Indian Ocean
The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country’s future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monitoring and Modelling Studies of Iranian Coasts with all disciplines being in investigated including currents. Al...
متن کاملThe tectonic puzzle of the Messina area (Southern Italy): Insights from new seismic reflection data
The Messina Strait, that separates peninsular Italy from Sicily, is one of the most seismically active areas of the Mediterranean. The structure and seismotectonic setting of the region are poorly understood, although the area is highly populated and important infrastructures are planned there. New seismic reflection data have identified a number of faults, as well as a crustal scale NE-trendin...
