The structure and kinematics of the central Taiwan mountain belt derived from geological and seismicity data

D Brown, J Alvarez‐Marron, M Schimmel, YM Wu… - …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The structure of the Taiwan mountain belt is thought to be that of an imbricate thrust and fold
belt developed in a forward breaking sequence above a shallowly dipping basal
detachment. In recent years, however, a growing amount of seismicity data from the internal
part of the mountain belt indicates the existence of widespread fault activity in the middle
and lower crust, suggesting that deeper levels of the crust must be involved in the
deformation than predicted by the shallow detachment, imbricate thrust belt model. To …

The structure and kinematics of the central Taiwan mountain belt derived from geological, GPS, and seismicity data

J Alvarez Marron, DL Brown… - AGU Fall Meeting …, 2011 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
The structure of the Taiwan mountain belt is thought to be that of an imbricate thrust and fold
belt developed above a shallowly dipping basal detachment. In recent years, however, a
growing amount of seismicity data from the internal part of the mountain belt indicates the
existence of widespread fault activity in the middle and lower crust, suggesting that deeper
levels of the crust must be involved in the deformation than is predicted by the imbricate
thrust belt model. To address this issue, we present new geological mapping, long-term …
