Three subsequent Tertiary paleostress fields that are deduced from fault-slip data for the eastern part of the Tajo Basin are analyzed by finite-element studies. The modelling results show that maximum horizontal stresses (SHmax) are mainly controlled by the geometry of the model limits and the boundary conditions applied. The models are used to test two hypotheses on the origin of the Altomira...

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...
