We present tectonic reconstructions and an accompanying animation of deformation across
the North America–Pacific plate boundary since 36 Ma. Intraplate deformation of …

The Basin and Range province is a composite Cenozoic taphrogen with a present
configuration and internal geometry derived from superimposed multiple phases of …

Constraints on the structure of rifted continental margins and the magmatism resulting from
such rifting can help refine our understanding of the strength of the lithosphere, the state of …

In continental-margin subduction zones, basalt magmas spawned in the mantle interact with
the crust to produce a broad spectrum of volcanic arc associations. A distinct style of very …

Magmatismo y tectónica en la Sierra Madre Occidental y su relación con la evolución de la
margen occidental de norteamérica SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online vol.57 …

Strain modeling shows that folds can form in transtension, particularly in simple shear-
dominated transtension. Folds that develop in transtension do not rotate toward the shear …

ABSTRACT Since~ 30 Ma, western North America has been evolving from an Andean type
margin to a dextral transform boundary. Transform growth has been marked by retreat of …

Correlation of conjugate rifted margins of the Upper Delfín basin constrains the timing and
amount of transtensional opening along the Pacific–North America plate boundary in the …

Fault zones are the locations where motion of tectonic plates, often associated with
earthquakes, is accommodated. Despite a rapid increase in the understanding of faults in …

The stretching and break-up of tectonic plates by rifting control the evolution of continents
and oceans, but the processes by which lithosphere deforms and accommodates strain …
