Tectonic discrimination diagrams revisited
[1] The decision boundaries of most tectonic discrimination diagrams are drawn by eye. Discriminant analysis is a statistically more rigorous way to determine the tectonic affinity of oceanic basalts based on their bulk-rock chemistry. This method was applied to a database of 756 oceanic basalts of known tectonic affinity (ocean island, mid-ocean ridge, or island arc). For each of these trainin...
متن کاملCorrelating deformation in Variscan NW-Iberia using porphyroblasts; implications for the Ibero-Armorican Arc
3-D microstructural analysis of 30 porphyroblastic samples from the Variscan orogen in NW-Iberia has revealed four sets of inclusion trails with distinctive geographic trends and relative timing. The chronological and orientational consistency of these microstructures provides a reference frame for the correlation of macroscopic structural successions. The two younger inclusion trail sets corre...
متن کاملTectonic evolution of a continental subduction‐exhumation channel: Variscan structure of the basal allochthonous units in NW Spain
[1] A regional study starting from detailed geological mapping has been carried out in the Malpica‐Tui Complex of Galicia in NW Spain. The complex is formed by two units representing pieces of the external edge of Gondwana, subducted and exhumed during the Variscan collision. The study shows that synsubduction and early synexhumation structures in continental subduction channels tends to be obs...
متن کاملTectonic evolution of the Khoy ophiolitic complex, NW Iran
The Khoy Ophiolitic Complex (KOC) as a part of Tethyan, Izmir-Ankara- Erzincan and Bitlis-Zagros sutures of South East (SE) Turkey is broadly exposed around Khoy region (NW Iran). This complex comprises dismembered fragments of mantle lithosphere, obducted oceanic lithosphere and parts of volcanic arc remnants. The Khoy Ophiolitic Complex can be structurally divided into two major eastern and w...
متن کاملTectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model
[1] We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale viscoplasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition and allows for all modes of lithospheric deformation. For quartz/olivine rheology and 60 mm/yr convergence rate, the continental subduction...
