Intracontinental deformation of the Tianshan Orogen in response …
网页2022年6月29日 · The Tianshan is a type-example of ongoing lithospheric deformation in an intracontinental setting. It formed during the Paleozoic accretion of the Altaids and was rejuvenated in the Cenozoic,...
The poleward naturalization of intracontinental alien plants
网页2023年10月4日 · We found that intracontinental aliens were prevalent. Over the 243 regions (~38% of the global ice-free land surface) across the four continents considered, 4510 flowering plant species had intracontinental origins, accounting for 3.9% of all plant species and 56.7% of all naturalized plant species.
Intracontinental subduction: a possible mechanism for the Early ...
网页2009年9月10日 · The Early Palaeozoic Orogen of SE China is an intracontinental belt in which decollements accommodated the north-directed subduction of the Cathaysian continent. This orogen is an example of intracontinental subduction that was not preceded by oceanic subduction.
Intracontinental deformation in a frontier of super …
网页2012年4月30日 · Intracontinental strike-slipping faults are well-developed and more important than thrusts and extensional faults, and are the most effective structure for displacement adjustment and strain accommodation between intracontinental blocks (Liu et al., 2010). Numerous strike-slip faults developed in the South China Block in …
Impact of Ancient Tectonics on Intracontinental Deformation ...
网页2024年3月5日 · The Altai Mountains serve as a type-example of ongoing intracontinental deformation. Here, we investigate the crustal architecture of the Chinese Altai Mountains, using receiver functions obtained from newly deployed dense seismic nodal arrays.
Mantle Subduction and Uplift of Intracontinental Mountains: A …
网页2016年6月29日 · With the tremendous advance of the theory of the plate tectonics, geologists now recognize that mountains on continental margins, such as those around the Pacific ocean, are products of the...
Formation of the 1300-km-wide intracontinental orogen and …
网页2007年2月1日 · This model not only explains the development of a broad (∼1300-km-wide) intracontinental orogen that migrated from the coastal region into the continental interior between ca. 250 Ma and 190 Ma, but can also account for the puzzling chain of events that followed: the formation of a shallow-marine basin in the wake of the migrating foreland ...
Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution
网页2023年3月7日 · A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new ocean basin,...
Tectonics and melting in intra-continental settings
网页2015年1月1日 · Parameter space showing the explored range of lithospheric cooling ages (lithospheric thickness) and convergence rates, which control the tectonic response and melt evolution of intracontinental deformation.
Compressional intracontinental orogens: Ancient and modern …
网页2014年3月1日 · Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation and subsequent evolution must be framed outside conventional plate tectonics theory, which can only explain the proximal effects of convergent plate-margin interactions.
