An improved version of this design by Sims et al. (1999) using a strongviscous basal layer also forces faults to follow the basal velocity discontinuity. Using a third design by LeCalvez and Vendeville (1996), faults can freely propagate above a thin, weak viscous layer but fault blockscannot subside or rotate in response to deformation. We introduce a new design in which although fault locationis controlled by small instabilities at the brittle-ductile interface, faults can freely propagate along strike afterthey have nucleated. This design also allows fault blocks to subside, rise, or rotate in response to deformation.The main advantage of such design is that it forces the faults to form at a predetermined location. The ridgesare high enough (about one 20th of the brittle-layer thickness) to act as instabilities that trigger the nucleationof the main two faults, which thereby form with an initial lateral offset. But the ridges are low enough so that,once faults have formed in the brittle layer the fault planes act as dominant instabilities and freely propagatealong strike. Because this design provides much more freedom for fault interaction within the relay zone andfor fault-block rotation, results significantly differ from those of previous models.","PeriodicalId":201383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Virtual Explorer","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130743861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural and petrological styles show variations in both, space and time. Available petrological data suggest that the deep crustal section of this belt was subjected to extreme thermal perturbation causing high temperature (HT) to ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism over an extended geographical area, the nature of which again varied in time and space. It is now understood that the 1000km long edifice of the Eastern Ghats Belt evolved in a phase-wise manner due to recurrent crust-building activities surrounding cratonic India. Consequently, it is possible to correlate these events with global-scale orogenies that united India with east Antarctica and Australia in different time and space coordinates. This prompts us to a hypothesis that history of such a mountain belt can actually reflect the evolution of Precambrian supercontinents, namely Columbia, Rodinia and Gondwana. We review the present state-of-the-art, but also point out that more rigorous investigation in future may add a quantitative flavor to this.","PeriodicalId":201383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Virtual Explorer","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121322297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This collision contributed to the assembly of West Gondwana. We mapped parts of the Araguaia Belt in its south and central portions in northern Brazil. Our mapping suggests two phases of deformation. The first resulted in the development of N-S trending amphibolite-facies transpresssional structures with a reverse-sinistral movement with ver- gence towards the Amazonian Craton on the west. The age of this deformation phase is possibly Paleoproterozoic. The second phase generated N-S dextral strike-slip faults that cross-cut older structures. This phase was accompanied by retrograde metamorphism. We propose that these strike-slip faults connect with the east-west trending dextral strike-slip faults in the Borborema Orogen on the northern margin of the Sao Francisco Craton. Move- ment on faults fringing the Amazonian Craton combined with that of the Araguaia-Borbor- ema strike-slip system, accommodated lateral escape of terranes wedged between the Amazonian and Sao Francisco-Congo Cratons during the Neoproterozoic. http://virtualexplorer.com.au/","PeriodicalId":201383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Virtual Explorer","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127214094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
