This paper provides a synthesis of current data and interpretations on the crustal structure of
the Pyrenean-Cantabrian orogenic belt, and presents new tectonic models for …

We compare the geologic histories, the deep structures, and the present‐day kinematics of
deformation of the Himalaya and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau with those of the Zagros and …

Con la ayuda de un análisis flexural de la correlación entre relieve y gravedad, se investiga
qué factores controlan la segmentación del sistema de convergencia andino entre los 15 y …

Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks derived from the southern Lhasa terrane, sitting depositionally
upon rocks of the northern Indian passive continental margin, provide an estimate of the age …

This unique book presents an overview of isostasy, a simple concept of fundamental
importance to the Earth Sciences that students have traditionally found difficult to grasp. With …

We use the tectonics of Eastern Anatolia to exemplify many of the different aspects of
collision tectonics, namely the formation of plateaux, thrust belts, foreland flexures …

Geophysics is a broad subject that encompasses not only the physics of the Earth, but also
the physics of the atmosphere and oceans. The heart of geophysics, however, is the theory …

It is well accepted that the lithosphere may exhibit nonzero mechanical strength over
geological time and space scales, associated with the existence of non‐lithostatic …

A plate tectonics model is presented to explain the tectonometamorphic characteristics of the
European Variscides. After the closing of two oceanic domains by two-sided subduction …

Examination of five thrust belt systems developed at continental subduction boundaries
suggests that they comprise two distinct groups that display pronounced and systematic …
