The Mechanics of Oblique Slip Faulting

M. H. P. Bott · 1 Apr 1959

Summary The various mechanisms which could cause oblique slip faulting are briefly reviewed. It is thought that such faulting may frequently arise from the existence of preferred planes of fracture within the rocks. The dynamics of this mechanism is studied in some detail and an expression is obtained for the first direction of slip within…

The origins of granulites: a metamorphic perspective

Simon L. Harley · 1 May 1989

Abstract Although many recent reviews emphasize a uniformity in granulite pressure–temperature ( P – T ) conditions and paths, granulites in reality preserve a spectrum of important petrogenetic features which indicate diversity in their modes of formation. A thorough survey of over 90 granulite terranes or occurrences reveals that over 50% of them record P…

Zagros orogeny: a subduction-dominated process

Philippe Agard, Jafar Omrani, Laurent Jolivet et al. · 5 Jul 2011

Abstract This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen within the frame of the Arabia–Eurasia collision. The Zagros orogen and the Iranian plateau preserve a record of the long-standing convergence history between Eurasia and Arabia across the Neo-Tethys, from subduction/obduction processes to present-day collision (from ~ 150 to 0…

An Index of Weathering for Silicate Rocks

Andrew Parker · 1 Nov 1970

Summary An index of weathering for silicate rocks is proposed, based on the proportions of the alkali and alkaline earth metals present. These are considered to be the most mobile of the major elements. The bond strengths of the elements with oxygen are used as weighting factors in the index, which measures both the degree…
