Abstract The Taibai granitic plutons lie between the ductile shear zone to north and Shangdan suture south. deformation mechanism of shearing is crucial understanding exhumation processes multiple that formed after Late Mesozoic period. Geological investigations, microstructures, kinematic vorticity calculations indicate deformed in response pure shear-dominated (54%–65%) transpression top-to-N...

Abstract The tectonic deformation of the outer Indo-Burman Ranges (i.e., Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt, CTFB) is associated with oblique convergence Indo-Burmese plates since latest Miocene. This article presents detailed field evidence structures and their kinematics in exposed Tertiary successions CTFB. We combine observations made this study published structural, geodetic, seismic data sets t...

This study investigates how strain is partitioned within hot orogenic belts in a context of plate reorganization. We document crustal-scale strike-slip shear zones, plate-scale oroclinal bending, and widespread exhumation deep crustal domains the core nascent Pangea during late-Variscan times (ca. 310–290 Ma). The role partitioning finite patterns first highlighted at regional scale by new deta...

Seismicity along mid-ocean ridges and oceanic transform faults provides insights into the processes of crustal accretion strike-slip deformation. In equatorial Atlantic ocean, slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge is offset by some longest-offset on Earth, which remain relatively poorly understood due to its remote location far from land-based teleseismic receivers. A catalog T-phase events detecte...
