Download or read book Geology and Tectonics of the Karakoram Mountains written by M. P. Searle and published by . This book was released on 1991-09-27 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present knowledge of the geology and tectonics of the Karakoram Range lays a foundation for future geological studies of mountain-building processes in the high mountain ranges of Central Asia. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, constrained by field mapping and analysis, sets the scene for the great Karakoram-Himalayan Ranges by laying down the regional tectonic setting. Paleogeography of the Indian Ocean and south Asia and the geophysical constraints for the northward drift of India are examined as well as its collision with Asia and the evolution of crustal structures. The geology and tectonics of poorly known mountain ranges of central Asia--the Pamirs, Hind Kush, Alai and Vakhsh, Kun Lun and Tien Shan--are discussed. It then reviews geology and geological processes of the great Karakoram Range. Finally, the tectonics and evolution of the pre and post-collision orogenic processes involved in the construction of this, the highest and most spectacular mountain range on Earth, are examined.
Book Synopsis Colliding Continents by : Mike Searle
Download or read book Colliding Continents written by Mike Searle and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crash of the Indian plate into Asia is the biggest known collision in geological history, and it continues today. The result is the Himalaya and Karakoram - one of the largest mountain ranges on Earth. The Karakoram has half of the world's highest mountains and a reputation as being one of the most remote and savage ranges of all. In this beautifully illustrated book, Mike Searle, a geologist at the University of Oxford and one of the most experienced field geologists of our time, presents a rich account of the geological forces that were involved in creating these mountain ranges. Using his personal accounts of extreme mountaineering and research in the region, he pieces together the geological processes that formed such impressive peaks.
Book Synopsis Himalayan Tectonics by : P.J. Treloar
Download or read book Himalayan Tectonics written by P.J. Treloar and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Himalaya–Karakoram–Tibet mountain belt resulted from Cenozoic collision of India and Asia and is frequently used as the type example of a continental collision orogenic belt. The last quarter of a century has seen the publication of a remarkably detailed dataset relevant to the evolution of this belt. Detailed fieldwork backed up by state-of-the-art structural analysis, geochemistry, mineral chemistry, igneous and metamorphic petrology, isotope chemistry, sedimentology and geophysics produced a wide-ranging archive of data-rich scientific papers. The rationale for this book is to provide a coherent overview of these datasets in addressing the evolution of the mountain ranges we see today. This volume comprises 21 specially invited review papers on the Himalaya, Kohistan arc, Tibet, the Karakoram and Pamir ranges. These papers span the history of Himalayan research, chronology of the collision, stratigraphy, magmatic and metamorphic processes, structural geology and tectonics, seismicity, geophysics, and the evolution of the Indian monsoon. This landmark set of papers should underpin the next 25 years of Himalayan research.
Book Synopsis Crustal Architecture and Evolution of the Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet Orogen by : R. Sharma
Download or read book Crustal Architecture and Evolution of the Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet Orogen written by R. Sharma and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises 17 contributions that address the architecture and geodynamic evolution of the Himalaya–Karakoram–Tibet (HKT) system, covering wide aspects, from the active seismicity of the present day to the remnants of the Proterozoic orogen. The articles investigate the HKT system at different scales, blending field research with laboratory studies. The role of various lithospheric components and their inheritance in the geodynamic and magmatic evolution of the HKT system through time, and their links to global geological events, are studied in the field. The laboratory research focuses on the (sub-)micrometre scale, detailing micro-structural geology, crystal chemistry, geochronology, and the study of circulating fluids, their preservation (trapped in fluid inclusions) and their evolution, distribution, migration and interaction with the solid host. An orogen over 2000 km long can be understood only if the processes at the nanometre and micrometre scales are taken into account. The contributions in this volume successfully combine these scales to enhance our understanding of the HKT system.

Book Synopsis Tectonics of the Indian Subcontinent by : A.K. Jain
Download or read book Tectonics of the Indian Subcontinent written by A.K. Jain and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books documents the salient characters of the tectonic evolution of the Indian subcontinent. It showcases the well investigated subcontinent of Gondwana. The book is linked to an updated geological and tectonic map of this region on 1:12,000,000 in scale. The Indian subcontinent displays almost uninterrupted and unique the geological history since about Eo-Archean (~3800 Ma) to recent, with the development of many Proterozoic deformed and metamorphosed fold belts around Archean nuclei, and enormously thick undeformed platform deposits. After their stabilization during late Proterozoic, the subcontinent underwent Paleozoic rifting and deposition of coal-bearing thick sequences, followed by enormously-thick outpouring of Deccan volcanics as a consequence of huge mantle plume. The youngest event in its evolution is the Cenozoic Himalayan Orogenic Mountains, spanning the area between Nanga Parbat and Namcha Barwah; a part of which extends both in Pakistan and Myanmar.

Book Synopsis The Tectonics of China by : Tianfeng Wan
Download or read book The Tectonics of China written by Tianfeng Wan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Tectonics of China: Data, Maps and Evolution" presents the regional geological and petroleum surveys of China, the author's original tectonic data, and research results of Chinese and international scientists (more than 1500 references) from the last three decades. It examines the main developments of geological evolution, a series of tectonic events in the overall geological history, 13 tectonic maps of the entire continent of Asia in different tectonic epochs, and a general discussion of the main tectonic characteristics of the Chinese continental plate. This book also intensively discusses the Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonics and intraplate deformations, which control the majority of ore deposits and oil-gas reservoirs and have a tremendous influence on the climates and natural disasters on the continent. Some important tectonic theory problems are discussed, such as the mechanisms of the widespread intraplate deformation, the variation of lithosphere thickness, the existence of mantle plumes, the dynamic mechanisms for global tectonics, and the author's proposed hypotheses on mantle plumes and meteorite impacts. The book is intended for researchers and geologists working at universities, on geological surveys, for mining or petroleum companies, and for graduate students of geology and mineral resources. Tianfeng Wan is Professor at the China University of Geosciences, Beijing, China.

Book Synopsis Tectonics of the Himalaya by : S. Mukherjee
Download or read book Tectonics of the Himalaya written by S. Mukherjee and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Himalayan mountain belt, which developed during the India–Asia collision starting about 55 Ma ago, is a dramatically active orogen and it is regarded as the classic collisional orogen. It is characterized by an impressively continuous 2500 km of tectonic units, thrusts and normal faults, as well as large volumes of high-grade metamorphic rocks and granites exposed at the surface. This constitutes an invaluable field laboratory, where amazing crustal sections can be observed directly in very deep gorges. It is possible to unravel the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of litho-units, to observe the mechanisms of exhumation of deep-seated rocks and the propagation of the deformation. Himalayan tectonics has been the target of many studies from numerous international researchers over the years. In the last 15 years there has been an explosion of data and theories from both geological and geophysical perspectives. This book presents the results of integrated multidisciplinary studies, including geology, petrology, magmatism, geochemistry, geochronology and geophysics, of the structures and processes affecting the continental lithosphere. These processes and their spatial and temporal evolution have major consequences on the geometry and kinematics of the India–Eurasia collision zone.
