Broad overlap between deformation and magmatism in active margins has spurred the
development of a conceptual framework of direct tectonomagmatic links in both active and …

The transpressive deformation in the eastern Jiangnan Orogen during the Early Paleozoic is
the structural response to the oblique convergence of the Yangtze-Cathaysia blocks, and …

Granitic pegmatites are abundantly developed along the Ailao Shan-Red River shear zone
(ASRR-SZ) in Southeast Asia, which provides vital insight into the Cenozoic tectonic record …

One of the Eocene plutons in NW Anatolia, the Northern Kapıdağ Pluton (NKP) was syn-
kinematically intruded into the Kapıdağ Shear Zone (KSZ). The NKP is granodioritic in …

Abstract The N55° E− trending Sanyang shear zone is located in the eastern Jiangnan
orogen, and the northeastern junction between the Cathaysia and Yangtze blocks is the key …

The mechanical evolution of transpression zones affected by fault interactions is
investigated by a 3D elasto-plastic mechanical model solved with the finite-element method …

Synthesis of new and existing field, structural, geochemical, isotopic, and geochronologic
data in the Adirondack Highlands of the southern Grenville Province indicate a suite of arc …

We propose a new definition of oblique plate convergence. Our model considers arc-trench
curvature on a spherical Earth, and defines obliquity as the angle between the direction of …

Shear zone development in the Zagros orogenic belt is a result of the oblique collision of the
Arabian plate with the Iranian plateau. To distinguish areas deformed during the collisional …

The relative displacement between lithospheric plates normally results in obliquely
deforming plate boundaries. This is simply caused by the fact that, on plate tectonics basis …
