We review the plate tectonic evolution of the Caribbean area based on a revised model for
the opening of the central North Atlantic and the South Atlantic, as well as based on an …

We describe a model for Caribbean plate motion based on GPS velocities of four sites in the
plate interior and two azimuths of the Swan Islands transform fault. The data are well fit by a …

The pattern of folding, faulting, and late Quaternary coral-reef uplift rates in western and
central Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic) suggest that the elongate Gonave …

Subduction of Atlantic seafloor under the Caribbean plate causes shallow earthquakes
within the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc. Such earthquakes, above the subduction interface …

Multichannel seismic reflection profiles reveal the tectonic and stratigraphic complexity of the
Caribbean province. A smooth reflector B ″forms the top of widespread Cretaceous …

An analysis of seafloor spreading lineations in the southern Gulf of California demonstrates
that divergence of the Baja peninsula from North America since 3.6 Ma has been …

This study presents a reconstruction of the Neotectonic evolution of western Nicaragua by
means of structural analysis of outcrop scale joints, faults and bedding planes integrated …

We propose a model for the western end of the North American–Caribbean plate boundary.
We suggest that, beyond the surface trace of the Motagua–Polochic fault system, interplate …

This work presents an updated revision of the complex stratigraphic and tectonic
relationships that characterize the geologic boundary between the Chortís and Maya …

Recent marine and onland geophysical and geological investigations along the northern
Caribbean plate boundary call for a review of its tectonic interpretation, in the light of a new …
