Assuming a linear slope exponent and erodibility of 10<sup>−6</sup> m<sup>0.1</sup>/a, we estimated knickpoint ages to be ∼5.7 ± 1.7 Ma. We interpret the Late Cretaceous cooling as a result of lithospheric extensional collapse following the Late Jurassic intra-continental compression between the North and South China blocks. The early Cenozoic exhumation might relate to the active normal faulting, as a far-field response to the west Pacific back-arc extension.

This fault, located on the southeastern margin of the Qinghai‒Tibetan Plateau, plays a key role in the extrusion, rotation and escape of the continental blocks constituting the Qinghai‒Tibetan Plateau. Furthermore, this fault represents the southwestern boundary of the Sichuan–Yunnan Block, which has experienced strong deformation and frequent seismic activity. The northern segment of the Red River Fault Zone is the most active part of the whole fault. However, surface erosion and vegetation coverage have obscured the activity of the northern segment; therefore, the study of its activity has obviously been insufficient. There is still controversy over whether all the secondary faults on the northern segment are active Holocene faults. Studying the activity characteristics of the northern segment, which is densely populated, is particularly important for seismic risk prevention in this area. Based on remote sensing interpretations and field geological surveys, this paper describes the latest activity characteristics of the Cangshan Piedmont Fault, Fengyi–Dingxiling Fault and Midu Basin Margin Fault, including their spatial distributions and kinematic characteristics. According to the ages of the offset strata in profiles, the above three secondary faults were all active in the late Holocene. The latest active age of the Cangshan Piedmont Fault was later than 543-494 cal BP, and two palaeoseismic events that occurred in this section during the Holocene occurred at 2700 and 473 cal BP. The latest active age of the Fengyi–Dingxiling Fault was later than 2760–2700 cal BP; in this section, one Holocene palaeoseismic event occurred between 1777 cal BP and 2730 cal BP, another occurred between 2730 cal BP and 5664 cal BP, and the third occurred between 6449 cal BP and 8360 cal BP. The latest active age of the Midu Basin Margin Fault was later than 558-510 cal BP, and two Holocene palaeoseismic events occurred later than 2318-2114 cal BP and 558-510 cal BP. Based on the results of this paper and previous studies, we believe that the Fengyi–Dingxiling Fault on the northern segment of the Red River Fault Zone is at risk for future strong earthquakes. Additionally, abundant geological and geomorphologic evidence suggests that the northern segment is dominated by normal faults, reflecting the local strain response to secondary clockwise rotation of the Sichuan–Yunnan Block along the boundary fault. This finding is in line with the eastwards extrusion and escape of materials on the Qinghai‒Tibetan Plateau caused by the northwards and northeastwards pushing of the Indian Plate. To a certain extent, these observations reflect the tectonic deformation coordination between block rotation and boundary fault slip in the Sichuan–Yunnan Block in the context of continental block extrusion on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.</p","PeriodicalId":50035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Geology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141484021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focused our analyses on the contact between the Cycladic Blueschist Unit and the underlying Cycladic Basement as well as on the upper structural levels of the latter. The opposite shear senses are observed within the same foliation fabric, and they coexist at outcrop scale.

Integration of the observations from gneiss/schist samples showed that the SSE-directed shearing possibly commenced at the GBM/SGR transition and continued under SGR. In turn, top-to-the-NNW shearing occurred exclusively within SGR. We suggest that the opposite shear senses were operated asynchronously through foliation reuse under plane strain conditions. Early top-to-the-SSE shearing is associated with increasing simple shear component of deformation towards the contact between the two units, whereas subsequent reversal to top-to-the-NNW shearing is characterized by distributed general shear deformation throughout the study area.

Recent stress inversion techniques can separate stresses from heterogeneous data from fault, dilational fractures, etc. Natural data sets from those structures are often heterogeneous, and age data are usually not enough to classify the stresses by age. As a result, an unsupervised classification problem of the inversion results must be solved to draw the trajectories. Here, we propose a simple and heuristic procedure for this problem. We assume smooth trajectories during each of the phases. The smoothness makes density-based clustering adoptable to solve the problem. The heterogeneity of data sets allows the additional partition of the clusters. As a worked exercise for this technique, the trajectories of minimum horizontal stress orientations were drawn based on the paleostresses determined from the attitudes of felsic dikes and quartz veins formed in mid Cretaceous orogeny in the North Kitakami Terrain, northern Japan.

From field-based structural correlations, it is demonstrated that multiple orders of third-generation orogen-parallel (F3) and late-stage orogen-perpendicular (F4) folds have resulted in complex interference patterns, varying from plane non-cylindrical (Type 1) to non-plane non-cylindrical (Type 2). Continued N–S shortening in the DSH produced a crustal-scale thrust with ramp-flat geometry, locally known as the Daling Thrust (DT) under the influence of a mechanically weak coal-shale-bearing Gondwana layer, which can be compared with the present-day Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). The thrust ramp eventually shifted towards the foreland during the India-Asia collision. A fold-duplex model is proposed to explain the potential mechanism of forelandward basal ramp migration. Our model suggests that the southern shallower Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) flat is susceptible to creeping aseismically due to the influence of coal-shale rheology. In contrast, the mid-crustal ramp and the presently active frontal splay faults (e.g., Main Frontal Thrust, MFT) are potentially seismogenic.

Previously, Jurassic sandstones adjacent to salt-cored anticlines in the Paradox Basin, eastern Utah, have been used to characterize deformation banding formation. However, these host rocks have undergone significant structural and diagenetic modification following band formation, which adds significant complexity to analyses of this type. Here, we integrate detailed structural transect analysis, petrologic analysis of bands and host rocks, depth-compaction relationships, critical state deformation models, and regional burial evolution models to constrain the timing and conditions of band formation. This analysis demonstrates that bands in this region formed prior to pervasive cementation and are generally expressed as two plastic strain gradients; one characterized by distributed deformation bands across the crest of salt-cored anticlines and a second wherein deformation band density increases near mesoscale normal faults. Comparison of these results with numerical structural evolution models of similar structures indicates that band gradients may have formed as a result of outer-arc extensional stress induced by the rising diapir and are linked with normal faults. These results highlight that the integration of material behaviors with kinematic evolution can constrain models for deformation band formation and may provide a useful workflow for understanding the development of these features in geologically young petroleum systems like those of the Atlantic passive margin.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Geology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141397571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
