deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the iranian-arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly sanandaj-sirjan belt or zone) is the main concern of this paper. here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of eghlid-deh bid area as affected by the position of zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. the modeled area is located between the zagros thrust...

The Pyrenees are the result of structural inversion a rift general direction N110E, established at articulation European and Iberian plates. This was created by left-lateral transtension with severe crustal thinning during latest Early Cretaceous Mid-Cretaceous. Its inversion, which led to uplifting Pyrenean chain, took place gradually, transpression from east west, Late followed an Eocene coll...

Post-collisional mafic dykes crosscut the Paleozoic metamorphic basement and late-Variscan plutons in Les Guilleries massif (Catalan Coastal Ranges, NE Iberia). The predominance of phenocrysts, porphyritic texture, abundant amphibole, high MgO volatile content, together with crustal-like trace-element patterns indicate that correspond to calc-alkaline lamprophyres, mainly spessartites. Their en...

Analysis of lithofacies, paleoflow directions, and sandstone petrography of upper Paleocene-lower Eocene paralic and continental sediments exposed along the transpressional suture zone of the western margin of the Indian plate indicate that the process of deformation and uplift of the carbonate shelf in this area had started by late Paleocene time. This tectonic uplift and deformation is docume...

Abstract Jhelum Fault is the north–south-oriented major structural lineament originating from Hazara-Kashmir Syntaxis and extending southwards towards Mangla Lake. Geographic extent, nature significance of are subjects which have been approached by different researchers in past. The previous research provides enough evidence for presence as well they discourse its surface extent. None addresses...

Deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the Iranian-Arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly Sanandaj-Sirjan Belt or Zone) is the main concern of this paper. Here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of Eghlid-Deh Bid area as affected by the position of Zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model.

The Taishu Group is a folded, Eocene–Lower Miocene, thick sedimentary package exposed widely on Tsushima Island between the Japan Sea and East China Sea. This location makes strata important to understand tectonics paleo-environments in Far East, but timing of folding controversial. We studied styles brittle deformations strata. It was found that flextural-slip folds were dominant. Mesoscale fa...

In this contribution, we investigate the spatial and temporal evolution of mid-crustal flow in Agly Massif (North Pyrenean Zone) that represents southern foreland Variscan orogenic plateau. Massif, middle crust is represented by an Ediacarian–Devonian series metasedimentary rocks recorded high-grade metamorphism synchronously with crustal thinning (D2) dextral wrenching (D3) during Carboniferou...
