Preserved extensional structures in an inverted Cretaceous rift basin, northwestern Argentina: Outcrop examples and implications for fault reactivation
(American Geophysical Union, 2008-02-14)
During the Cretaceous-Eocene interval a system of intracontinental rift basins, the Salta group rift, evolved in northwestern Argentina. Individual segments of the rift later suffered different degrees of inversion during ...
Structure and development of the Andean system between 36◦ and 39◦S
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
One of the main morphological changes along the Southern Central Andes occurs from 36° to 39°S. The northern portion is characterized by prominent basement structures and a thick-skinned orogenic front with relief of over ...

Pliocene to Quaternary Retroarc Extension in the Neuquén Basin: Geophysical Characterization of the Loncopué Trough
(Springer, 2020)
The Loncopué Trough is an extensional basin produced by the extensional reactivation of the hinterland area of the Southern Central Andes. Neotectonic extensional structures in this basin bound a broad topographic low ...
Gravitational deformation and inherited structural control on slope morphology in the subduction zone of north-central Chile (ca. 29-33 degrees S)
(Wiley, 2017)
Subduction zones provide direct insight into plate boundary deformation and by studying these areas we better understand tectonic processes and variability over time. We studied the structure of the offshore subduction ...
Intraplate earthquake swarm in Belo Jardim, NE Brazil: reactivation of a major Neoproterozoic shear zone (Pernambuco Lineament)
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Intraplate earthquakes in stable continental areas have been explained basically by reactivation of pre-existing zones of weakness, stress concentration, or both. Zones of weakness are usually identified as sites of the ...
The role of invertion tectonics in the structure of the Cordillera Oriental (NW Argentinean Andes)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2006-12)
The Salta Basin of Cretaceous age in the Andes of NW Argentina was inverted during the development of the Cordillera Oriental between the Neogene and Recent. The different orientations of the extensional faults of the Salta ...
