The Neoproterozoic evolution of the Borborema Province is characterized by the development of a continental-scale network of transcurrent shear zones. These shear zones form a kinematically consistent system over more than ...

The Dom Feliciano Belt developed during the Brasiliano–Pan-African orogenic cycle due to the tectonic interaction between the Rio de la Plata, Congo and Kalahari cratons, along with the amalgamation of smaller continental ...

The El Callao district, with a total endowment of more than 2000 t Au, is considered to be the most prolific gold resource in Venezuela. Mineralization is hosted by a vein system that is genetically associated with the ...

The Major Gercino Shear Zone is one of the NE-SW lineaments that separate the Neoproterozoic Dom Feliciano Belt, of Brazil and Uruguay, into two different domains: a northwestern supracrustal domain from a southeastern ...

High strain shear zones of Brasiliano age, developed in Paleoproterozoic basement gneiss of the Caicó region, Borborema Province, NE Brazil, were associated with medium- to low-grade metamorphism and deformational processes ...

The Brasília and Ribeira fold belts have been established in south-southwestern São Francisco Craton during the Brasiliano-Pan African orogeny (0.9-0.5 Ga - Tonian to Cambrian), and played an important role in West Gondwana ...

Liners are important impermeable constituents of sanitary landfill to contain the transport of pollutants to the unsaturated zone. The system can be made of different kind, being the compacted soil and geosynthetics widely ...

Shear zones play a major role in the deformation of the crust at a variety of scales, as expressions of strain localization during orogeny and rifting, and also as reactivated structures. They influence the geometry and ...
