As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

Abstract Deformation affecting continental South America during Quaternary is related to the
Neogene geodynamic processes. These structures are mainly controlled by anisotropies …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

We present lithospheric‐scale analog models, investigating how the absolute plates' motion
and subduction of buoyant oceanic plateaus can affect both the kinematics and the …

We discuss the relationships between Andean shortening, plate velocities at the trench, and
slab geometry beneath South America. Although some correlation exists between the …

On the basis of structural field work, fault kinematic analysis, and the analysis of digital
imagery, we describe the northern part of the southern Andean intra‐arc Liquiñe‐Ofqui Fault …

Abstract The heterogeneous South American geology has coined a wide variety of
neotectonic settings where crustal seismogenic sources do occur. This fact has led to …

Using available information on the magnitude and age of tectonic shortening, as well as
paleomagnetically determined tectonic rotations, we have run a series of 2‐D map view …

The NW trending Zagros fold‐and‐thrust belt is affected by two major dextral faults:(1) the
NW trending Main Recent Fault that accommodates partitioning of oblique convergence at …

The intraplate fault-block mountains and intermontane deposits of the Gastre Basin, which
are recorded more than 550 km east of the Andean trench in central Patagonia, Argentina …
