Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the revisited limits of the Rhodope metamorphic complex, which runs from the Hellenides to the Balkans, i.e. from he African to the Eurasian sides of the Tethys ocean, respectively.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a mathematical formulation applicable to compaction driven flow for the entire range of rheological behaviors realized in the lithosphere and examine three first-order factors that influence the character of fluid flow: (1) thermally activated creep, (2) dependence of bulk viscosity on porosity, and (3) fluid flow in the limit of zero initial connected porosity.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a tente d'expliquer lu formation des domes gneissiques de la chaine hercynienne and notamment celui de la Montagne Noire (Sud du Massif Central francais), par un modele purement extensif de type "Basin and Range" is discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a bilan d'alteration entre ces deux formations a ete effectue, which repose sur une connaissance precise des âges des craies-meres des RS and sur des comparaisons granulometrique et chimique entre craie and RS, sachant que les silex sont reconnus comme autochtones and that leur degre de dissolution est calcule.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a reinterpretation of the Upper Neogene geodynamics in central Languedoc is based on both new paleontological and field data, including Rodents from the newly discovered fossil mammal-bearing locality of Aigues-Vives and those recently extracted from the site of Servian.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The Zone Houillere Brianconnaise (ZHB) as discussed by the authors is a zone of origin and evolution tectonique alpine in the Front Pennique a l'Est.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between local seismicity and springs discharge was studied, in which the microseismicity modifies the state of stress of the aquifer matrix and these modifications of the local stress control the aquifers behavior from an example of a basaltic reservoir crossed by a seismic fault.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an epicontinental sink volcano-sedimentaire finiproterozoique situe au sud de l'actuel domaine pyreneen in the Pyrenees is described.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the topographic contour map, the Bajocian limestone structural contour maps and alluvial terraces in the Toul and Nancy area to reconstitute the changes in the drainage pattern and the Moselle and Meuse cuestas retreat that have taken place since the late Tertiary.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors compared the disintegration processes and mineralogic and chemical evolution pathways of two Quaternary basalts at Bakrit and Ifrane, weathered in the same physiographic and hydrologic conditions, but differing in texture according to the quantity of glass present.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of strike-slip and normal faulting allowed identification of two main paleostress regimes, the largest set trends ENE-WSW to NNE-SSW; the minor set trends NW-SE to WNW-ESE.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the failurele ductile du Mt Pilat with the faille nord-himalayenne and discutons a l'echelle lithospherique les problemes of la chaine hercynienne du Massif Central entre les Monts du Lyonnais and les Cevennes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The floor thrust of the Sarrabus unit, the Villasalto thrust, is a west-directed thrust that places the Sarga unit above the Gerrei and Meana Sardo units as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the Cadomian Dyje Batholith has been used in Variscan ductile deformation, and the microstructures of deformed granodiorites and quartz-diorites show a characteristic zonality marked by relatively high temperature flow in the west (550-580 °C) characterized by dynamic recrystallization of feldspars and grain boundary migration recrystralization of quartz.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A lave torrentielle d'un volume superieur a 100 000 m3 s’est repandue sur le cone de dejection du torrent du Bez, provoquant des degâts considerables aux infrastructures.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the Marlborough strike-slip faults link the Hikurangi subduction zone to the Alpine fault collision zone, and the early Miocene (23 My) basins were generated under wrench tectonics above releasing-jogs between basement faults.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of southeastern France upper Cretaceous series has shown that Cenomanian-Turonian and Turonian-Coniacian boundaries are marked by quick and large amplitude relative sea level changes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the anisotropy of the Cabo Ortegal eclogite has been studied and the fabric and anisotropic properties of the material were investigated.
