GPS geodetic constraints on Caribbean - North America plate motion
We describe a model for Caribbean plate motion based on GPS velocities of four sites in the plate interior and two azimuths of the Swan Islands transform fault. The data are well fit by a single angular velocity, with average misfits approximately equal to the 1.5-3.0 mm yr -• velocity uncertainties. The new model predicts Caribbean-North America motion -65% faster than predicted by NUVEL-1A, a...
متن کاملAnomalously fast convergence of India and Eurasia caused by double subduction
Before its collision with Eurasia1–5, the Indian Plate moved rapidly, at rates exceeding 140mmyr−1 for a period of 20 million years1,3–7. This motion is 50 to 100% faster than the maximum sustained rate of convergence of themain tectonic plates today8. The cause of such high rates of convergence is unclear and not reproduced by numerical models9,10. Here we show that existing geological data11,...
متن کاملاستفاده از شیمی کانی آمفیبول برای دما- فشارسنجی گرانیتوئید بزمان، جنوب شرق ایران
The Bazman granitoid is located in the south margin of Lut block, and southeastern of Iran. It composed of granite, granodiorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite, diorite and gabbro. Plagioclase, feldspar, quartz, hornblende and biotite are the major minerals; sphen, apatite, zircon, magnetite and ilmenite are the main accessory minerals. Amphibole mineral chemistry is calcic in composition a...
متن کاملSurface Effects of the 2004 Indonesian Earthquake and Tsunami from SAR data
On December 26, 2004, at 00:58 GMT a Mw 9.0 earthquake took place in the Indian Ocean, offshore the West coast of Sumatra, at a depth of about 30 km. This earthquake is one of the largest events of the last 100 years, comparable only to the Chile 1960 and Alaska 1964 ones. The earthquake originates in the subduction zone of the Indian and Burma plates, moving at a relative velocity of 6 cm/year...
متن کاملCould a Sumatra-like megathrust earthquake occur in the south Ryukyu subduction zone?
A comparison of the geological and geophysical environments between the Himalaya-Sumatra and Taiwan-Ryukyu collision-subduction systems revealed close tectonic similarities. Both regions are characterized by strongly oblique convergent processes and dominated by similar tectonic stress regimes. In the two areas, the intersections of the oceanic fracture zones with the subduction systems are cha...
