suture zone

The gravity thus shows no correlation with surface structures proposed as suture zones.

The suture zone between a terrane and the crust it attaches to is usually identifiable as a fault.

The anomaly is similar to those associated with ancient and modern suture zones, regions of collided continental crust.

The collision induced higher crustal temperatures and pressures which produced numerous hot springs along the suture zone.

The suture zone is to the west of the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains.

In search of clues, geologists have looked to the high pressure terranes outcropping along suture zones to find answers.

This suture zone is formed by:

This suture zone is world famous for hosting precious stone deposits of emeralds, rubies etc.

The suture zone contains a dismembered ophiolite.

Clear indicators of intercratonic activity contain ophiolites and other oceanic materials that are present in the suture zone.

This belt was named as Sargur series and it may be the oldest suture zone in the Indian subcontinent.

The major seismic faults in Taiwan correspond to the various suture zones between the various terranes.

Eventually the subduction zone is converted into a suture zone as the two continental blocks are welded together.

In the 1960s he proposed that there were geographic regions which he called suture zones where species tended to hybridize with close relatives.

The India-Eurasia suture zone in northern Pakistan; synthesis and interpretation of data at plate scale.

Suture zones are often marked by fragments of the pre-existing oceanic crust and mantle rocks, known as ophiolites.

Cameron's Line is the suture zone that is modern-day evidence of the collision of the island arc and the continent.

The Indus Suture Zone represents the northern limit of the Himalaya.

Slip in this model has been transferred into the Indus-Yalu suture zone, as well as large scale boudinage.

In Ladakh, the suture zone between the continental masses runs a little to the south of the Indus Valley.

Similar to the Himalayas, the Trans-Hudson orogeny was also the result of continent-continent collision along a suture zone.

Geophysical investigations of the Trans-European Suture Zone.

This thickening resulted in the formation of several suture zones, marked by obduction of ophiolites and intense deformation.

Contrary to many other known orogenic belts the Sveconorwegian orogens eastern border does not have any known suture zone with ophiolites.

These conjugate faults to the north and south of the Bangong intersect with each other along the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone.
