The cross section through Pembrokeshire (southern Wales, United Kingdom; Figs 10.1 and 10.20) shows several major faults, with a WNW-ESE trend, that subdivide the region into several major fault-bounded blocks that have shown distinctly different stratigraphic successions (Powell, 1989). This episode was followed by the deposition of a thick glaciomarine sequence in the late Ordovician. As discussed above it is likely that the Tibisti Massif was emergent during the Cambro-Ordovician. The Kufrah Basin was isolated from the northern margin of Gondwana, and a continental regime was established which persisted until the Cretaceous. However, other processes, such as mantle hydration and the combination of trenchward motion of thick cratonic lithosphere and trench retreat, are also ascribed as the cause of the flat-slab setting (Manea et al., 2012; Skinner and Clayton, 2013). who reported the presence of marine carbonates, shales and evaporites from a small outlier on the northern flank of the jabal (Figure 4.14). (1989), Schettino and Turco (2006, 2009; 2011), Argnani (2012), Turco et al. (2015) in the area shown in Fig. In some instances they host elvans and "mainstage" magmatic-hydrothermal lodes (more rarely lamprophyres). Biostratigraphic and thickness data indicate that the tectonic episodes were of relatively short duration compared with the intervening times of relative tectonic quiescence, which were characterized by slow subsidence (Embry, 1993b).

During Permian and Triassic times, large volumes of seawater became isolated, and subsequent evaporation created thick salt deposits. Postextension sequences are shown in yellow and shades of grey. F. Zwaan et al. Since the salt is essentially ductile where it is confined, there is a tendency for it to bulge at the weakest point through the overlying rock, forming a diapir. Additional features indicative of volcanic activity in the region include lobate contacts indicative of lava emplacement via sheet flow, vent structures, wrinkle ridges, circular and irregular rings, mounds, and pitted cones (Williams et al., 2017). The Ritec and Benton Faults are both inverted half-grabens. Fig. questioned the tectonic trend lines of Klitzsch as schematic and ambiguous, (a view shared by Selley), and they found no evidence of significant tectonism in the Kufrah Basin during the period from the Infracambrian extensional phase until the late Carboniferous (despite the absence of almost the entire Ordovician section). 8. cit.)

Several examples of Neogene extensional deformations are known along the Apenninic chain. Therefore, it is often difficult to decouple metamorphism during rift-tectonics alone from an overall convergent plate boundary process. In the North China Block, Late Mesozoic extensional tectonics is evident by low-angle detachment faults, syntectonic plutons bounded by ductile faults, metamorphic core complexes (MCC) and widespread Jurassic to Cretaceous half-grabens filled by continental terrigenous deposits and volcanic rocks. This extensional tectonics is contemporaneous to compression, which moved toward the foreland sector of the belt (Patacca & Scandone, 1989; Giunta, 1991). The downthrown block has subsided quicker than the upthrown block and acquired more sediment. Usually, actual slab geometries are investigated through seismic methods (earthquakes foci and seismic tomography).

(1989), Schettino and Turco (2006, 2009; 2011), Argnani (2012), Turco et al. This is in marked contrast to the Murzuq Basin in which was tectonism was very active particularly during the Devonian.12. Therefore, the geometry and the evolution of the subducted lower plate, which in the context of slab-retreat guide the upper plate evolution and the origin of magma, have to be integrated with the help of other methods. Nine mineral samples have been dated with the laser probe 40Ar/39Ar method using a single-grain step-heating procedure, and one sample of granodiorite has been dated by the U/Pb … The major transgression associated with each tectonic episode was termed a “ten-million-year flood.”, Jean-Pierre Williams, ...

Extensional tectonics led to the formation of strongly subsiding basins (e.g., Saint Florent and Aleria basins), which are filled with sediments up to 2 km thick, deposited since the Burdigalian (Ferrandini et al., 1996) and continuous with the offshore Corsica basin. The Ritec fault shows significant compressional reactivation of the extensional fault as none of the syn-extensional sequences is now in net extension, and thus no null point is present. --Extensional tectonics and crustal structure : deep seismic reflection data from the northern North Sea Viking graben / A. Wei Lin, Wei Wei, Late Mesozoic extensional tectonics in the North China Craton and its adjacent regions: a review and synthesis, International Geology Review, … In any field, the forces acting on the sediments will be both gravitational and either extensional or compressional in any horizontal direction. Large platform-type build-ups developed on highs, whereas pinnacle-type build-ups developed in adjacent elevated blocks within basinal areas where subsidence was more pronounced (Figure 52).

Terminology useful to folding is as follows: Hinge line: the line of maxiumum curvature, Axial plane: the plane defined by hinge lines of all horizons, Crestal plane: the plane defined by crests on all horizons. The tilt direction of imbricate normal-fault blocks within large extensional allochthons is commonly away from the transport direction of these sheets, but in many cases tilts are in the same direction as transport, thus limiting the usefulness of the direction of tilting as a transport indicator. A footwall shortcut fault has also developed, the Johnston Thrust. 7A–C) and trace elements composition that reflects equilibration of magmas within low-pressure mineral assemblages (Fig. Das Begriffspaar stammt aus dem Umfeld der aristotelischen Logik und wurde als «étendue de lidee» Umfang der Vorstellung und «compre… 7 of Powell, C.M., 1989.

The SW–NE alignment of the build-ups especially in the central and eastern parts (Figure 51) reflects basement controlled structural trends. Using the map from Spencer et. The Campania Plain, an E-W elongated basin infilled by up to 3000 m of Pleistocene volcaniclastic and alluvial sediments (Milia and Torrente, 1999), is part of this extensional system, which encompasses an area extending from southern Tuscany to the northern margin of Calabria. Ashton Embry, Benoit Beauchamp, in The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada (Second Edition), 2019. Source: Redrawn from section Y-Y′ in Fig. The frictional forces associated with rocks passing over one another are very high, and overpressures may often be associated with reverse faulting, since they provide a mechanism whereby the friction may be reduced (see Figure 10.2.1). Strike-slip tectonics is concerned with the structures formed by, and the tectonic processes associated with, zones of lateral displacement within the Earth's crust or lithosphere.It is one of the three main types of tectonic regime, the others being extensional tectonics and thrust tectonics.These match the three types of plate boundary, transform (strike-slip), divergent (extensional… This evidence includes the shape, orientation, and alignment of some of these features that demonstrate an element of structural control in their formation. The Benton Fault shows more limited inversion as the null point is located at the top of the syn-extension sequence but the amount of elevation above regional (EAR=2400 m) of the top syn-extension sequence (regional shown by the black dashed line labelled R) indicates that inversion has been accommodated mostly by folding. Therefore these craters are not included in Fig. These two nonimpact-related craters could be endogenic, possibly related to the cavi, and may represent remnants of phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions in the form of maars. Embry et al. Active syn- to postorogenic extension during the Early and Late Devonian, south of the main Caledonian uplift, controlled the deposition of a significant terrestrial syn-extensional sequence (Old Red Sandstone), which thickens towards the basin-bounding extensional faults noted above (Powell, 1989). The main consequence of the shallowing and eventually flattening of the Nazca slab was the eastern migration and expansion of the volcanic front toward the foreland, followed by the retraction of the asthenospheric wedge and, finally, the cessation of the volcanism at the latitudes of the present-day Pampean segment (Bissig et al., 2003; Kay and Mpodozis, 2002; Kay et al., 1991; Litvak et al., 2007; Ramos et al., 1989). The basin was uplifted during the late Eocene and has been emergent ever since.13, Figure 6.14. (2013) as regard the reconstruction of the upper plate and the one proposed by Schettino and Turco (2011) as regard the reconstruction of the lower plate continental margin. The fault plane is usually curved upward. Wernicke, B. and Burchfiel, B. C., 1982, Modes of extensional tectonics. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. The main features observed in extensional tectonics are as follows: Growth faults. Increase in crustal components into the mantle source by middle to late Miocene in the southern Central Andes correlates with increase of crustal thickness and forearc subduction erosion (see further text for discussion). These depressions form from collapse into subsurface voids as a result of processes such as extensional faulting (Tanaka and Golombek, 1989; Ferrill et al., 2004; Wyrick et al., 2004), dyke emplacement (Mège and Masson, 1996; Wilson and Head, 2002; Mège et al., 2003), and/or karst dissolution (Spencer and Fanale, 1990). Areas of extensional tectonics are typically associated with: Vanesa D. Litvak, ... Andrés Folguera, in Andean Tectonics, 2019. The first-order sequence boundaries closely match those recognized in various areas of the North American craton and the origin of these is interpreted to be due to various plate tectonic processes that affected the continent (Sloss, 1988; Chapter 2). Evidence that marine conditions reached the Jabal Zalmah area during the Cretaceous has been provided by Lüning et al. Very few smaller meters-to-hundreds of meters scale craters are observed indicating the surface is currently experiencing resurfacing at a high rate relative to the production rate of craters at these sizes or has recently experienced a resurfacing event that has erased most of the subkilometer craters. 7), becoming common in the Western Precordillera (e.g., Lomas del Campanario Unit, after Poma et al., 2017) and into the Sierras Pampeanas, 700 km away from the trench (Kay and Gordillo, 1994). The time interval between the start of tectonic uplift and the end of fast subsidence and major transgression encompasses a tectonic episode (Embry, 1993b). These folds contain a well-developed axial planar cleavage indicating that several deformation mechanisms were accommodating the shortening during the inversion of these half-grabens, with a combination of folding, cleavage formation, compressional reactivation of the old extensional faults and the development of footwall shortcuts. Red Sea) 'v' 1000km Fig. (2013a), Encinas et al. This is illustrated in Figure 10.2.1. Three main types of plate boundaries: Divergent: extensional; the plates move apart.

(E) Portion of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera image M192824968 showing aligned depressions that transect a preexisting graben (black arrows) in western Mare Tranquillitatis. On the other hand, folds with axes parallel to the extension direction have taken relatively less attention although they play important roles in the better understanding of extensional tectonics. These are growth anticlines in which rock units thicken from the crest toward the flanks. The crescent-shaped mountain belt develops in response to oblique indentation by … The Johnston Thrust and the Musselwick Thrust both developed during the Late Westphalian Variscan orogeny and do not appear to have had an earlier history as extensional faults. Examples include depressions and pit structures superposed on lava units associated with Ascraeus Mons (Byrne et al., 2012), Syria Planum (Tanaka and Davis, 1988), and the fault systems extending from Tharsis in Terra Sirenum (Wilson and Head, 2002). It is a complex area bounded by the Aegean–Cyprus Arc to the south and the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) to the north. 8B and C) and Sm/Yb (> 4) ratios (Fig. The portion of unit HAb4a depicted in Fig. Figure 52. Unfortunately, in the Tyrrhenian area, the available data have insufficient resolution to reconstruct a reliable slab geometry that would allow the correlation with the complex structuring of the upper plate (Faccenna et al., 2014; Brandmayr et al., 2010).

There is no palynological evidence for the presence of late Silurian or Lochkovian rocks, and deposition in the Devonian began in the Pragian and continued until the Visean. These features would have resulted from the explosive interaction of magma with standing water, groundwater, or icy near-surface material (Lorenz, 1973, 1986; Sheridan and Wohletz, 1983). This was attributed either to magma equilibrating at the base of a thickened crust or due to eroded crustal-derived fore-arc components entering the mantle wedge by the time of the maximum compression and crustal shortening (Kay et al., 2005; Litvak et al., 2007). It indicates that the carbonates began being deposited as early as 20.5 Ma (Cycle III). This is consistent with in situ O and Hf isotopic values and inherited zircon ages present in Miocene volcanic rocks at these latitudes (∼ 29°–30°S) that reveal a Permo-Triassic (~ 200–270 Ma) basement underlying Frontal Cordillera and Grenville-age rocks(~ 1050–1250 Ma) beneath the Precordillera (Jones et al., 2015).

Error bars reflect statistical uncertainty. Marine sedimentation in the Kufrah Basin ended in the late Devonian, and there is an apparent hiatus in the continental rocks of the Carboniferous, with no evidence of any deposits of Serpukhovian to Gzelian age. 4–7) that fulfill Profeta et al. By middle to late Miocene, arc volcanism distributed along the present-day Pampean flat slab segment (~ 29–32°S, 13–6 Ma, Vacas Heladas Formation, Vacas Heladas Ignimbrites, Upper Altar Volcanic Complex; e.g., Martin et al., 1997; Maydagán et al., 2011; Ramos et al., 1989) records major geochemical changes. A new Coniacian–early Santonian extensional salt tectonics event has been identified in the Cotiella thrust sheet of the central Spanish Pyrenees. The largest known maars on Earth, the Espenberg Maars on the Seward Peninsula in northwest Alaska, have diameters ∼4–8 km (Begét et al., 1996) and thus are similar in size, ∼5–6 km, to the two possible martian analogues we have described here in Figs. The black arrow highlights an outflow channel and the flow direction on the south side of the depression, indicating volatile release possibly having played a role in the formation of the feature (CTX image P14_006615_1503). The regional compressional geometry, however, shows some notable similarities with Case Study 5, and some notable differences with Case Study 3.

IMPs are a suite of features that may represent a late stage of volcanism on the Moon with model crater retention ages younger than 100 Myrs (Braden et al., 2014), though their formation mechanism is debated (Elder et al., 2017). Data included in plots (A and B) correspond to samples within the whole compiled dataset (see references in Figs. Cobbold, P. Davy, J.P. Brun & P. Choukroune SUMMARY: In a preliminary series … 9.3 (the northwest boundary outlined by a dotted curve) would be expected to accumulate two impact craters of these sizes in ∼2–3 Gyrs (Fig. Compiled isotopic data are from Dyhr et al. 9.3 (2.25 × 104 km2). (1993) who attributed the 208Pb/204Pb composition of Miocene arc-related rocks from Precordillera due to the interaction of asthenospheric wedge magmas with a Greenville-aged basement, considered to be the southern extension of the Appalachian system as part of the exotic Cuyania terrane (Ramos, 2010b and reference there in). Extensional tectonic regimes are therefore primarily associated with divergent (i.e. The first type comprises low angle (dip <45°) extensional faults which exhibit listric or ramp and flat geometries and may display complex arrangements of secondary faults and folds in their hangingwalls. We have found that large, very low-angle normal faults dominate highly extended terranes, and that both listric and planar normal faults are common components of their hanging walls.

Curie, Paris, France 9.6 and 9.7. This example also continues to illustrate the impact of hanging wall folding on calculating inversion ratios. The Sverdrup Basin originated due to an episode of extensional tectonics that affected much of the Caledonian/Ellesmerian Orogenic Belt in Early Carboniferous. For the Mediterranean area, tectonic reconstruction models that incorporate these requirements are few: Dewey et al. The uplift phase of each tectonic episode was followed by a phase of rapid tectonic subsidence, which resulted in pronounced transgression and the drowning of the basin margins. In spite of the huge amount of available data, the geodynamic evolution of the Tyrrhenian basin and surrounding regions are not yet well understood, and this has been subject to controversial interpretations (Biju-Duval et al., 1977; Dercourt et al., 1986; Malinverno and Ryan, 1986; Dewey et al., 1989; Boccaletti et al., 1990; Doglioni, 1991; Carmignani et al., 1995; Lavecchia et al., 1995; Faccenna et al., 1996, 2001; Ferranti et al., 1996; Turco and Zuppetta, 1998; Doglioni et al., 1999; Jolivet and Faccenna, 2000; Rosenbaum et al., 2002; Mantovani et al., 2002; Peccerillo and Turco, 2004). Major subsidence occurred accompanied by rifting, and thick Nubian Sandstones were deposited, particularly in the southern part of the basin. Palynological evidence is lacking to prove the nature of the Ordovician-Silurian contact, but Grignani claimed that deposition of the Tanzuft Formation began in this area during the late Ordovician. Other definitions: Wikipedia Reegle. Changes in arc magmatism are particularly conspicuous from middle to late Miocene, linked to the progress of the shallowing of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate (Kay et al., 1991; Kay and Mpodozis, 2002; Yañez et al., 2001; 2002). This interpretation is strengthened by the observation of rocky outcropping layers near the rim of the cavi beneath the surface mantling material in Figs. The tectonic effects caused by the collision between Gondwana and Laurasia spread from northwest Africa into Libya during the Carboniferous as a compressional event which produced the Tibisti-Sirt Arch and the Ennedi-Awaynat Uplift, and obliterated large sections of the Tripoli-Tibisti Uplift, Haruj Uplift and Kalanshiyu Trough (Figure 2.7). Examples. Structural controls on Palaeozoic basin evolution and inversion in southwest Wales J. Geol. We present a new interpretation of the Cotiella thrust system and describe exceptional outcrop examples of postrift, gravity-driven extensional growth faults. The characteristics of these unconformities leave no doubt as to their tectonic origin (Embry, 1990, 1993b, 1997; Beauchamp et al., 2001; Embry et al., in press). (A) 87Sr/86Sr ratios for arc-related volcanic rocks from southern Central (Pampean and Payenia segments) and North Patagonian Andes that reflects contribution of crustal components in arc magmas through time. The collision of the Juan Fernández aseismic ridge with the Chilean trench from north to south and approaching to the southern Central Andes latitudes (at∼ 25° to 33°, between 14 and 10 Ma) was associated with the shallow subduction regime (Gans et al., 2011; Gutscher et al., 2000; Pilger, 1981; Yañez et al., 2001). Since then and up to the middle Miocene, a waning of arc magmatic activity is registered in the main Andean axis at the latitudes of the Pampean flat-slab segment (~ 30–33°). The Whipple mountains are one of the best examples anywhere of a metamorphic core complex, and, incidently, are just a few kilometers from where we will be mapping in January. The main reasons for the controversial interpretations are due to the complexity of the geodynamic processes that generate the Tyrrhenian-Apennine system. Three larger craters include a D ∼ 13-km crater at the base of a massif on the basin floor edge, buried partially by dune forms and two large craters (D ∼ 19 and 22 km) at the southern margin of the area, the largest depicted in Fig. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V.
