Abstract:
The Great Bear magmatic zone, located in Wopmay orogen, is a 1.875–1.84 Ga belt, 450 km long by 100 km wide of volcanic and allied plutonic rocks interpreted as a Paleoproterozoic magmatic arc. The belt, which contains economically important mineralization, was folded and subsequently cut by a swarm of northeast-striking transcurrent faults, which are part of a regional conjugate fault system interpreted to result from terminal collision of the Nahanni – Fort Simpson terrane. Fault reconstructions based on the interpretation of aeromagnetic data and geological maps provide first-order models o

Abstract:
Structures associated with dextral transcurrent displacement on the Finlay – Ingenika fault are characterized predominantly by subvertical to vertical faults. Intersections of the fault planes with planar fabrics are all subvertical. This geometry, together with the common occurrence of subhorizontal slickenlines and stretching lineations in some strongly deformed fault zones, indicates their strike-slip nature. Principal directions of the strain ellipsoids determined from the deformed volcanic fragments along one of the faults are in accordance with those of the magnetic susceptibility ellips

Abstract:
The mining district of Santo Antonio de Pádua is responsible for the greatest concentration of mining activity (except for oil offshore exploration) in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Two different lithotypes of dimension stones are quarried along two particular fault zones that are part of major splay of faults which branch off Rio Paraíba do Sul Shear Zone. The quarried dimension stones are two homogeneous orthogneisses that were emplaced in a transcurrent transpressive regime. We present here a possible explanation for the genesis of those rocks.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTA major transcurrent fault in the zone of the Iapetus suture in eastern Ireland separates Ordovician (pre-Ashgill) terranes. The stratigraphy of each terrane belongs to a dismembered volcanic arc system: the northern terrane is characterised by acid plinian eruptions and derivative sediments which are displaced relative to the andesitic southern terrane volcanism. Each was a separate palaeoenvironment with its own lithostratigraphical character and faunal elements which were juxtaposed across the fault. However, the late Ashgill to Silurian sediments in both terranes form part of a reg

AbstractLatest Devonian A-type granite-gabbro plutons, in part ductilely deformed, are spatially associated with the strike-slip Cobequid fault zone. The youngest intrusions are close to the Cobequid fault zone, which was the main conduit for magma. Two phases of deformation accompanying magma emplacement are recognized. Early magmas intruded ductile rocks during left-lateral oblique thrust movements. A second stage of right-lateral oblique slip normal faulting accommodated uplift of the plutons when coarse granite was emplaced in the crestal regions. Cross-cutting late stage porphyries, grani

Abstract:
ABSTRACTA review of granite emplacement mechanisms in transcurrent, extensional and contractional (thrust sense) shear zones reveals that in all three tectonic settings the plutons have been constructed by multiple granite sheeting parallel to the shear zone walls and deformation fabrics. The sheets and plutons are non-Andersonian in type and were emplaced obliquely to the principal stress directions. Their shape and orientation is more likely to reflect the exploitation of faults and shear zones which were active during emplacement. Sheeting (dyking) is therefore also likely to be the mechani

Abstract:
A cross section of the eastern part of the Early Proterozoic Torngat Orogen is exposed along Saglek Fiord in northern Labrador. It shows the transition from a foreland, through a frontal zone to the internal zone of the orogen, the latter being composed of two lithologically distinct terranes that are part of Abloviak shear zone, a crustal-scale transcurrent shear zone with a sinistral sense of displacement. One of these terranes is parautochthonous with respect to the foreland, the other is allochthonous and interpreted as being separated from the parautochthon by a cryptic suture.Ramah Group

Abstract:
Late Cenozoic deformation along the Australian/Pacific plate boundary is seen in onshore New Zealand as zones characterised by extension- or transcurrent- or contraction-related structures. High-resolution multichannel seismic reflection data were acquired in several of these tectonic zones and successfully reveal the shallow structures within them. Thirty kilometres of dynamite reflection data in the Rangitaiki Plains, eastern Bay of Plenty, define a series of NE-trending normal faults within this extensional back-arc volcanic region. The data cross surface ruptures activated during the 1987

Detailed single-channel seismic reflection survey has been carried out in the Lakonikos Gulf, Southern Péloponnèse, aiming to a better understanding of the neotectonic structure of the Lakonikos Basin. Our survey showed that, contrary to the model of a simple N-S asymmetric graben previously considered, a tectonic horst occurs within the tectonic graben of Lakonikos. A subsidence of more than 1000m is produced by the N-S marginal faults, whereas, the N-S faults creating the central horst structure within the Lakonikos graben are high-angle reverse faults, which have uplifted the sea bottom tog

The main objective of this work is to test the effect of two conical-shaped positive topographic obstacleson propagation of a discrete basement dextral strike-slip or transcurrent fault. A set of sandbox analogue (physical) models was constructed, in which two consecutive sand cones were placed progressivelycloser to each other. Key structural and strain parameters, such axial strain ratios and angular strain, aswell as the width and direction of the basins which formed during deformation were measured and analyzed. This procedure was then repeated with a basal decoupling layer of PDMS beneath
