Miocene volcanic rocks have been sampled from the San'in district in central part of southwest Japan. Reliable palaeomagnetic direction and K-Ar dating data obtained 28 localities. A clockwise deflection declination (D = 38.5°) is observed Kawai Formation having an age 16.1 ± 1.4 Ma, whereas a northerly formations younger than 14.2 0.6 Ma. These indicate that Japan had ceased rotational motion by about 14 When compared with amount rotation estimated Cretaceous data, it apparent more 80 per...
Abstract Paleomagnetic studies facilitate an understanding of the evolution Japan Arc in Cenozoic times from perspective tectonic movement. The rifted Asian continent middle Miocene, while East Asia, including Arc, moved northward at same time. rifting phenomenon is described by differential rotation Southwest and Northeast Japan. was rotated clockwise through about 45° counter‐clockwise 40°. This occurred concurrently 15 Ma. Eighty percent completed during a period 1.8 million years. These...
A palaeomagnetic study was undertaken for Cretaceous red beds and granitic rocks of three geological provinces (the Lhasa, the Qiangtang Sichuan) along a road between Chengdu Lhasa in eastern Tibet an attempt to determine aspects deformation SE Asia. High-temperature characteristic directions were isolated from 20 sites. The tilt corrected data Terrane at Markam (29.7°N, 98.6°E) exhibit largely clockwise deflected declinations with steep inclinations (D= 48.2°, I= 49.0°, α95= 8.8°), whereas...
Lower to Middle Cretaceous red sandstones were sampled at four localities in the Lanpin-Simao fold belt of Shan-Thai Block describe its regional deformational features. Most samples revealed a characteristic remanent magnetization with unblocking temperatures around 680 °C. Primary natures are ascertained through positive test. A tilt-corrected formation-mean direction for Jingdong (24.5°N, 100.8°E) locality, which is located distance 25 km from Ailaoshan–Red River Fault, northerly...
