Quaternary Deformation in the Neuquén Basin, Explained by the Interaction Between Mantle Dynamics and Tectonics
(Springer, 2020)
Quaternary deformations described in the retro-arc region at the latitudes of the Neuquén Basin can be divided into two main groups: a northern group characterized by Quaternary deformation zones concentrated near the main ...
Quaternary tectonics along oblique deformation zones in the Central Andean retro-wedge between 31°30′S and 35°S
(Geological Society of London, 2014-02)
The distribution of the Quaternary deformation in the outer retro-wedge of the Andes (31°30′–35°S) is controlled by the subduction geometry, the position of the structural front, and the location of oblique pre-Cenozoic ...
A review about the quaternary upper-plate deformation in the Southern Central Andes (36–38°S): A plausible interaction between mantle dynamics and tectonics
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11)
Quaternary deformation in the Southern Central Andes between 36° and 38°S is disconnected, noncontinuous and not particularly tracing the main mountain topographic fronts. This pattern contrasts to the one to the north ...
Quaternary tectonics in a passive margin: Marajo Island, northern Brazil
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008)
Marajo Island is located in a passive continental margin that evolved from rifting associated with the opening of the Equatorial South Atlantic Ocean in the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous period. This study, based on remote ...
Late pleistocene to recent deformation in the thick‐skinned fold and thrust belt of northwestern Argentina (Central Calchaquí Valley, 26°S)
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-12-06)
The thick‐skinned fold‐and‐thrust belt on the eastern flank of the Andean Plateau innorthwestern Argentina (NWA) is a zone of active contractional deformation characterized by fault‐bounded mountain ranges with no systematic ...
Quaternary-active thrusts scarps tested as deformation markers by trishear models in the Southern Precordillera of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-05)
Scarps related to Quaternary-active thrust splays propagating in alluvial bajadas of the Southern Precordillera of Argentina (32°20′) were studied through detailed topographic surveys, in order to understand the reliability ...
Drainage anomalies as indicators of soft-linked deformation zones between neotectonic structural highs in the Precordillera, Central Andes of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2014-11)
Between 31°45'-32°15' S, the western piedmont of the Ansilta block in the Precordillera of Argentina has been uplifted in Quaternary times through folds, blind faults and faulted blocks that form discrete and evident areas ...
Quaternary deformation around the Palo Negro area, Pampa Norte, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-04)
The Pampa Norte region is a great plain characterized by low slopes and accumulation of hundreds of meters of thick loose sediments. A high morphostructure denominated San Guillermo block stands out in the central plain, ...
Forearc deformation along the peruvian margin and the effects of changes in subduction style: quantifying the rates of Quaternary deformation using in situ produced cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al.
(Sociedad Geológica del PerúPE, 2004)
The Andes are one ofthe world's two highest mountain ranges and together wíth the westem cordillera of
North America they forro an almost a continuous mountaín chain from the tip of Patagonia to the Alaskan peninsula. ...
