Journal ArticleDOI
Oblique Stepwise Rise and Growth of the Tibet Plateau
Paul Tapponnier,Xu Zhiqin,Françoise Roger,Bertrand Meyer,N. Arnaud,Gérard Wittlinger,Yang Jingsui +6 more
TL;DR: Two end member models of how the high elevations in Tibet formed are (i) continuous thickening and widespread viscous flow of the crust and mantle of the entire plateau and (ii) time-dependent, localized shear between coherent lithospheric blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal thickening in Gansu-Qinghai, lithospheric mantle subduction, and oblique, strike-slip controlled growth of the Tibet plateau
Bertrand Meyer,Paul Tapponnier,Laurence Bourjot,François Métivier,Y Gaudemer,Gilles Peltzer,Guo Shunmin,Chen Zhitai +7 more
TL;DR: For example, this paper showed that the most active thrusts usually break the ground many kilometres north of the range-fronts, along the northeast limbs of growing, asymmetric ramp-anticlines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary evolution of the Corinth Rift and its implications for the Late Cenozoic evolution of the Aegean
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of aerial and SPOT imagery supported by field observations is presented to constrain rates of faulting and the distribution of deformation in the seismically active Aegean region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Westward propagation of the North Anatolian fault into the northern Aegean: Timing and kinematics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new evidence for the propagation processes of the North Anatolian fault in the Dardanelles Straits region allowing them to document the timing of the deformation preceding, and the finite displacement after, the passage of the propagating tip of the fault.
Journal Article
Geology - Oblique stepwise rise and growth of the Tibet plateau
Paul Tapponnier,Zhiqin Xu,Françoise Roger,Bertrand Meyer,Nicolas Arnaud,Gérard Wittlinger,Jingsui Yang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose two end member models of how the high elevations in Tibet formed: (i) continuous thickening and widespread viscous flow of the crust and mantle of the entire plateau and (ii) time-dependent, localized shear between coherent lithospheric blocks.
