TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the dextral pull-apart structures of the marginal basins in global plate tectonic settings at four key times: 50, 35, 15 and 5 Ma.

TL;DR: The Western Taiwan Foreland Basin formed during the Early Pliocene as the flexural response to the loading of Taiwan orogen on the Eurasian plate as discussed by the authors, and is characterized by an unconformity where Quaternary sediments overlie the eroded Miocene strata.

TL;DR: Wedge-top sediments are deformed into a series of west-vergent imbricated thrusts and folds and associated piggyback basins in the southern Taiwan foreland basin system as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Using reflection seismic sections and bathymetric mapping, this article revealed the geomorphic characteristics of the Kaoping Canyon strongly related to structural and sedimentary processes, and the combined morphometry statistics analysis, seismic interpretations of structures and examinations of detailed bathYmetric charts indicate that regional canyon morphology is strongly linked to intrusions of mud diapirs in the upper reach of the canyon and thrust faulting in the middle and lower reaches which produce two prominent morphological breaks of the course of the KGC with two sharp bends.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used chirp sonar profiles, in conjunction with core analysis, including X-ray radiographs, grain size and 210Pb analysis, to identify the sources, transport and deposition of the turbidites (or hyperpycnite) and to reconstruct the history of earthquakes and flooding in the area.
