Middle 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...
متن کامل40Ar/39Ar thermochronology from the northwestern Dabie Shan: constraints on the evolution of Qinling–Dabie orogenic belt, east-central China
Seven structural units with distinct kinematics have been recognized in the northwestern Dabie Shan (114°E– 115°E and 31°N–32°N), east-central China. They are, from north to south: (1) the north-verging Mafan fold belt (MFB) involving early Paleozoic metamorphic rocks; (2) the Liangting melange belt (LMB), which is separated from the MFB by a south-dipping thrust and consists of gneissic and ma...

متن کاملThe Regional Context of Human Rights in the Middle East
Human rights situation in the Middle East (ME) is a central concern in contemporary political as well as academic discourses. There is a considerable amount of literature on the subject, both academic and journalistic, in the Western world. A large part of that literature blames the ME in different ways for its ‘terrible’ conception and treatment of human rights norms. They typically, do not he...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Lg attenuation in the Tibetan Plateau
[1] Lg, a regional seismic wave comprised of multiple shear wave reverberations trapped in the crustal waveguide, is important for magnitude estimation and source discrimination for monitoring nuclear testing treaties. In stable continental regions, Lg propagates with a group velocity of about 3.5 km/s and can often be observed at distances up to 4000 km. To better understand the absence of hig...
