Book Synopsis The Variscan Orogeny by : K. Schulmann
Download or read book The Variscan Orogeny written by K. Schulmann and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the state of the art of Variscan geology from Iberia to the Bohemian Massif. The European Variscan belt consists of two orogens: the older, northern and the younger, southern. The northern Variscan realm was dominated by Late Devonian–Carboniferous rifting, subduction and collisional events as defined by sedimentary records, crustal growth, recycling of continental crust and large-scale deformations. In contrast, the southern European crust was reworked by major Late Carboniferous collision followed by Permian wrenching. The Late Carboniferous–Permian orogeny overprinted the previously accreted system in the north, but with much lower intensity, resulting in magmatic recycling and extensional tectonics. These two main orogenic cycles do not reflect episodic evolution of a single orogenic system but a complete change in orientation of stress field, thermal regime, degree of reworking and recycling of European crust, reflecting a major switch in plate configurations at the Early–Late Carboniferous boundary.

The bulk of the volume is concerned with the evolution of the type area for the Cadomian Orogeny, the North Armorican Massif of France. The geology of this region is considered in a general chronological order, contributions dealing in turn with detailed aspects of geochronology, deformation and tectonics, magmatism and post-tectonic sedimentation.
Book Synopsis Fifty Years of the Wilson Cycle Concept in Plate Tectonics by : R.W. Wilson
Download or read book Fifty Years of the Wilson Cycle Concept in Plate Tectonics written by R.W. Wilson and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, Tuzo Wilson published his paper asking `Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?’. This led to the `Wilson Cycle’ concept in which the repeated opening and closing of ocean basins along old orogenic belts is a key process in the assembly and breakup of supercontinents. The Wilson Cycle underlies much of what we know about the geological evolution of the Earth and its lithosphere, and will no doubt continue to be developed as we gain more understanding of the physical processes that control mantle convection, plate tectonics, and as more data become available from currently less accessible regions. This volume includes both thematic and review papers covering various aspects of the Wilson Cycle concept. Thematic sections include: (1) the Classic Wilson v. Supercontinent Cycles, (2) Mantle Dynamics in the Wilson Cycle, (3) Tectonic Inheritance in the Lithosphere, (4) Revisiting Tuzo’s question on the Atlantic, (5) Opening and Closing of Oceans, and (6) Cratonic Basins and their place in the Wilson Cycle.

Download or read book Pannotia to Pangaea written by B. Murphy and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Publication 503 celebrates the career of R. Damian Nance. It features 27 articles, with more than 110 authors based in 18 different countries. These articles include contributions on the processes responsible for the formation and breakup of supercontinents, the controversies concerning the status of Pannotia as a supercontinent, the generation and destruction of Paleozoic oceans, and the development of the Appalachian-Ouachitan-Caledonide-Variscan orogens. In addition to field work, the approaches to gain that understanding include examining the relationships between stratigraphy and structural geology, precise geochronology, geochemical and isotopic fingerprinting, geodynamic modelling, regional syntheses, palaeogeographic modelling, and good old-fashioned arm-waving! The wide range of topics mirrors the breadth and depth of Damian’s contributions, interests and expertise. Like Damian’s papers, the contributions range from the predominantly conceptual to detailed field work, but all are targeted at understanding important tectonic processes. Their scope not only varies in scale from global to regional to local, but also in the range of approaches required to gain that understanding.

Book Synopsis New Perspectives on the Caledonides of Scandinavia and Related Areas by : Fernando Corfu
Download or read book New Perspectives on the Caledonides of Scandinavia and Related Areas written by Fernando Corfu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caledonides are a major orogenic belt that stretches from the Arctic, through Scandinavia, East Greenland, Britain and Ireland into the Atlantic coast of North America. Following the break-up of Rodinia, the Caledonides formed in the Palaeozoic by the drifting of various continents and their eventual aggregation in the Silurian and Devonian. The orogen subsequently fragmented during the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. This volume brings together 25 papers presenting the results of modern research that investigates the orogenic processes and the provenance of specific components of the belt. The contributions reflect different lines of research, linking traditional field studies with modern analytical techniques. In addition three overview papers summarize the main features of the belts in Scandinavia, Svalbard, East Greenland, Britain and Ireland, highlighting the advances made since the last major synthesis of the Scandinavian Caledonides 30 years ago, and discussing important open questions.
Book Synopsis Geological History of Britain and Ireland by : Nigel H. Woodcock
Download or read book Geological History of Britain and Ireland written by Nigel H. Woodcock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain, Ireland and their surrounding areas have a remarkablyvaried geology for so small a fragment of continental crust. Thisregion contains a fine rock record from all the geological periodsfrom Quaternary back to Cambrian, and a less continuous but stillimpressive catalogue of events back through nearly 2500 millionyears of Precambrian time. This protracted geological history wouldhave been interesting enough to reconstruct if it had been playedout on relatively stable continental crust. However, Britain andIreland have developed instead at a tectonic crossroads, on crusttraversed intermittently by subduction zones and volcanic arcs,continental rifts and mountain belts. The resulting complexitymakes the geological history of this region at once fascinating andperplexing. Geological History of Britain and Ireland tells thegeological story of the region at a level accessible toundergraduate geologists, as well as to postgraduates,professionals or informed amateurs. The book takes amulti-disciplinary rather than a purely stratigraphical approach,and aims to bring to life the processes behind the catalogue ofhistorical events. Full coverage is given to the rich Precambrianand Early Palaeozoic history, as well as to later events morerelevant to hydrocarbon exploration. The book is profuselyillustrated and contains guides to further reading and fullreferences to data sources, making it an essential starting pointfor more detailed studies of the regional geology. All British Earth science undergraduates will be required tospend some time studying British Geological History, and this bookwill be the only one available to British undergraduates The book takes a process-based approach, rather than simplydescribing the regional stratigraphy Lavishly illustrated with high-quality diagrams
Book Synopsis Backbone of the Americas by : Suzanne Mahlburg Kay
Download or read book Backbone of the Americas written by Suzanne Mahlburg Kay and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2009 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The American Cordilleras form a continuous orogen that extends for 12,500 km along the eastern flank of the Pacific Ocean from Arctic to Antarctic latitudes as an integral part of the circum-Pacific orogenic belt. Following two summary chapters on the overall anatomy and evolution of North and South American segments of the orogenic system, this volume includes ten seminal chapters dealing with salient aspects of the key geodynamic processes that have accompanied Cordilleran geotectonic evolution: forearc terrane accretion, arc magmatism, shallow subduction, and backarc intracontinental deformation. The papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the 2006 Backbone of the Americas Meeting, which was sponsored jointly by multiple North and South American geological societies in Mendoza, Argentina."--pub. desc.
Book Synopsis Evidence for an Archean Himalayan-style Orogenic Event in the Northern Teton Range, Wyoming by : Dudley Braden Fitz-Gerald
Download or read book Evidence for an Archean Himalayan-style Orogenic Event in the Northern Teton Range, Wyoming written by Dudley Braden Fitz-Gerald and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The northern Teton Range exposes an intensely deformed and metamorphosed Archean gneiss complex that preserves evidence for active margin tectonics along the western margin of the Archean Wyoming province between 2.70-2.67 Ga. This study examines a major tectonic boundary between the Moose Basin gneiss and the Layered gneiss that has been identified based upon contrasting metamorphic histories and Nd isotopic signatures observed between the two units. Previous studies of the Layered gneiss report that the unit was subjected to amphibolite facies metamorphism, whereas a detailed thermobarometric study of the Moose Basin gneiss indicates that it has been subjected to granulite facies metamorphism. These results correspond to the burial of the Moose Basin gneiss to a minimum depth of ~40km (P[approximate]12kb, T[approximate]900°C). The Moose Basin gneiss is structurally above the Layered gneiss creating an inverted metamorphic sequence within the range. A pressure-temperature-time (P-T-t) path derived from the Moose Basin pelitic gneisses documents a period of near isobaric cooling at high pressure, followed by near isothermal decompression and subsequent cooling at lower pressures. These observations have been interpreted to suggest the following geologic history: a high pressure burial event, thrusting of the high-grade rocks composing the Moose Basin gneiss over those of the Layered gneiss in a continent-continent collisional setting, post-orogenic collapse, and thermal re-equilibration. U-Pb zircon geochronology constrains the timing of this suturing event to be prior to ~2685 Ma based on the cystallization ages of a foliated luecogranite body that formed by partial melting of the Layered gneiss during suturing.
