Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

Compressional inversion of former extensional sedimentary basins is a particularly common
phenomenon, given that passive margins share the same destiny of being subsequently …

Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional
forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally …

A transfer zone is a kind of structure that is produced to conserve deformation of a fault
structure on both sides. Increasing numbers of transfer zones are being identified in rift …

This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

根据新的三维地震资料解释结果, 运用断层的位移-距离分析法, 探讨了渤海辽东湾JZ25-1S
转换带的变形特征, 并分析了转换带与油气聚集的关系. JZ25-1S 地区断裂发育 …

Basin inversion involves the reversal of subsidence in a basin due to compressional tectonic
forces, leading to uplift of the basin's sedimentary infill. A thorough understanding of basin …

The Basque-Cantabrian junction corresponds to an inverted rift accommodation zone at the
limit between the former hyperextended Pyrenean and Cantabrian rift segments. The …

The northeastern margin of the South China Sea experienced continental rifting followed by
magmatism in the Cenozoic. This evolution has strongly influenced the heterogeneity of its …

Faults are important structures in the formation of many mineral deposits, often acting as
conduits for ore-forming fluids and sometimes providing, or generating, the bounding …
