Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a fossil spreading pattern similar to present one can be reconstructed for the Mugodjarian back-arc basin with the spreading rate of 5 cm/yr and depth of basaltic eruption of 3000 m.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: From the Triassic to the Present linear belts of calc-alkaline volcanism developed along the southern margin of Eurasia as mentioned in this paper, and their development is related to the closure of the Paleo-Tethys, when fragments of Gondwana (Iran, Afghanistan etc.) were approaching Eurasia.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An extensive passive margin was formed in the Triassic along the periphery of Arabia, including the Tauric carbonate platform as discussed by the authors, which is related to the opening of the Mesozoic Tethys when a number of microcontinents split off from Gondwana.

TL;DR: Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric processes governing its geodynamical evolution.
Abstract: Seismic tomography models of the three-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure of the Mediterranean-Carpathian region provide a better understanding of the lithospheric processes governing its geodynamical evolution. Slab detachment, in particular lateral migration of this process along the plate boundary, is a key element in the lithospheric dynamics of the region during the last 20 to 30 million years. It strongly affects arc and trench migration, and causes along-strike variations in vertical motions, stress fields, and magmatism. In a terminal-stage subduction zone, involving collision and suturing, slab detachment is the natural last stage in the gravitational settling of subducted lithosphere.

TL;DR: The Zagros orogenic belt of Iran is the result of the opening and closure of the Neo-Tethys oceanic realm, and consists, from northeast to southwest, of three parallel tectonic subdivisions: 1) the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage; 2. (2) the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone; and 3. (3) the zagros simply folded belt.

TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation of tectonic units of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic system of orogens, including the substrate of the Pannonian and Transylvanian basins, is presented in the form of a map.
Abstract: A correlation of tectonic units of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic system of orogens, including the substrate of the Pannonian and Transylvanian basins, is presented in the form of a map. Combined with a series of crustal-scale cross sections this correlation of tectonic units yields a clearer picture of the three-dimensional architecture of this system of orogens that owes its considerable complexity to multiple overprinting of earlier by younger deformations.
