Plate movement and plate boundaries,es. We have seen that the plates have considerable lateral strength and suffer little lateral distortion over time periods of tens or even hundreds of Ma, and that they can transmit horizontal stresses through long distances in a regular fashion. We observe that large relative movements are confined

Convergent tectonic regimes,Dewey and Bird (1970) in their classic paper ‘Mountain belts and the new global tectonics’. They demonstrated that the process of subduction at a destructive plate boundary inevitably produces a characteristic association of rocks and structures that, in pre-plate tectonic terminology, would have be

Intraplate tectonic regimes,ever it has always been recognized that this was only true to a first approximation, and that all regions of the Earth’s surface experience tectonic effects to some degree. The most common type of intraplate (within-plate) tectonic activity is undoubtedly vertical movements. Accurate geodetic measur

Phanerozoic orogenic belts: some examples,xamples, linking geological structure with plate movements and plate behaviour. In this and in the following chapter, we shall apply these principles and methods in order to understand the structure of certain orogenic belts. Obviously, very few belts can be discussed here, and much of the essential
