Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Equatorial South Atlantic contains elements of an oblique-rifted margin and a sheared margin. The Barreirinhas Basin is a basin on the Brazilian coast located north of the shoreward limit of the Romanche Fracture Zone and south of the shoreward limit of the Saint Paul0́9s Fracture Zone. The main characteristic of the Barreirinhas Basin is an abrupt transition zone between oceanic and continental crust as a result of being located on a transform margin with, consequently, a very narrow and steep continental slope. This study focuses on the rift to drift evolution of the Barreirinhas Basin and the Barreirinhas Basin deep-water fold-belt, and is the first detailed published local study of the tectonic evolution of the Brazilian Equatorial margin. Complementary structural work over most of the Brazilian Equatorial margin provided a framework in which to place the tectonic history of the Barreirinhas Basin. Regional seismic reflection profiles across the Barreirinhas Basin on the Brazilian Equatorial margin reveal two major deep-water fold and thrust belts linked landward to extensional fault systems. Thrust faults are interpreted to be products of shortening caused by gravity-driven extension on the continental margin that involve rocks at both the shelf and the slope. Two main deformation events during the Cretaceous (99.6 to 83.5 Ma) and the Cenozoic (65.5 to 0 Ma) were distinguished. The Cretaceous deformation affected only a one kilometer thick section but the Cenozoic structural episodes involved a thicker (over 4 km) sedimentary sequence of Turonian to Miocene age, and cross-cut the pre-existing Cretaceous deformed sequence. Normal faults connect to the thrust faults at depth, forming two discrete bowl-shaped fault systems, linked at depth at different stratigraphic levels. Plots of displacement versus time show normal and thrust fault movements at the same time intervals, indicating close linkage between extension on the continental shelf and shortening on the slope. Deformation has increased dramatically during the past ten million years, with movement on all earlier and some newly formed faults. The increased deformation coincided with regional paleogeographic changes in northern South America in the Late Miocene that led to an increase in the sediment supply to the Barreirinhas Basin.

This book was released on 2015-05-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a simple monograph, the authors present a comprehensive geomorphic overview of a large tropical region where they show how deciphering the long-term landform evolution helps understanding the present set of landscapes and morphodynamic environments. The Equatorial margin of the Brazilian “Nordeste” displays stratigraphic landmarks whose interpretation reveals the age and nature of landforms, leading to a reconstruction of the geomorphic history by the means of combined morphostratigraphic and morphopedological approaches. Beyond the role of differential erosion related to moderate post-oceanic opening uplift, the plain and upland landscape reflects a juxtaposition of landform and soil generations related to a shallow basin inversion, the last stages of which occurred in semi-arid conditions since the Oligocene. These results throw light on old debates on models of long-term landform development in platform areas, and also help evaluating recent models of denudation and burial based on thermochronological methods.

Download or read book Conjugate Divergent Margins written by Webster Mohriak and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2013 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of the book is the geological and geophysical interpretation of sedimentary basins along the South, Central and North Atlantic conjugate margins, but concepts derived from physical models, outcrop analogues and present-day margins are also discussed in some chapters. There is an encompassing description of several conjugate margins worldwide, based on recent geophysical and geological datasets. An overview of important aspects related to the geodynamic development and petroleum geology of Atlantic-type sedimentary basins is also included. Several chapters analyse genetic mechanisms and break-up processes associated with rift-phase structures and salt tectonics, providing a full description of conjugate margin basins based on deep seismic profiles and potential field methods.--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume has evolved from papers written in memory of Professor David Roberts. They summarize the key findings of recent research on passive margins, from tectonics, bathymetry, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structural evolution and magmatism. Papers include analyses of the central and southern Atlantic margins of South America and Africa, papers on magmatism and extension in the NE Brazilian margin and on the Cote de Ivoire margin, rift architectures of the NW Red Sea margin, tectonics of the eastern Mediterranean margin, salt tectonics of passive margins of the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, and papers on the NW Shelf margin of Australia. The volume provides readers with new insights into the complexities of passive margin systems that are in reality, not so passive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continental margins of the world constitute the most impressive and largest physiographic feature of the earth's surface, and one of fundamentally great geological significance. Continental margins have been the subject of increasing attention in recent years, an interest focused by a body of new data that has provided new insights into their character. This interest was further stimulated by the realization that, in addition to the abundant living resources, continental margins contain petroleum and mineral resources that are accessible with existing technology. This realization, along with their basic geological importance, has provoked further research into the nature of continental margins throughout the world. A summary of these findings, as related to both recent and ancient continental margins, is the subject of this book. At various times in the past we had been approached individually to prepare a basic reference to continental margins; we then proposed to do such a volume jointly. However, the stimulus for the present volume eventually arose from a Penrose Conference arranged through the Geological Society of America. This conference was attended by specialists of numerous disciplines and from throughout the world, many of whom insisted that such a volume would be both timely and useful. Consequently, we agreed to undertake the task of assembling this book, with the objectives of making it available as soon and as inexpensively as possible.

Download or read book Cratonic Basin Formation written by M. C. Daly and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cratonic basins are large, distinctive features of the continental crust. They are preferentially developed on thick continental lithosphere, are typically sub-circular in shape and subside over periods of hundreds of millions of years. They are also endowed with significant resources. However, in spite of their location in continental interiors and often well-known geology, the subsidence driving mechanism and tectonic setting of these basins remains controversial. This volume presents both lithospheric and basin scale datasets acquired specifically to interrogate the tectonic process of cratonic basin formation. Focused on the Silurian to Triassic Parnaíba cratonic basin of Brazil, the papers discuss the results of a multidisciplinary basin analysis project comprising new geophysical, geological and geochemical data. This unique dataset enables the characterization of the lithospheric crust and mantle beneath the Parnaíba Basin, constrains the detailed evolution of the basin itself, and enables comparisons with cratonic basins globally. Several convergent themes emerge providing new and powerful constraints for models of the driving mechanisms of these enigmatic basins.
