Abstract The M essinian S alinity C risis is well known to have resulted from a significant drop of the editerranean sea level.

The available seismic anisotropy data in the Aegean shallow mantle and their relationship with crustal deformation are used for deciphering lithosphere-scale flow pattern driven by rollback of Hellenic subduction slab. In north central Aegean, directions trend parallel to stretching lineations core complexes overlying crust, suggesting that crust have undergone same direction flow. At scale entire extension is controlled dextral rotation around a pole located at Scutary-Pec, Albania, related...

Back-arc extension in the Aegean, which was driven by slab rollback since 45 Ma, is described here for first time two stages. From Middle Eocene to Miocene, deformation localized leading (i) exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks crustal depths, (ii) high-temperature core complexes, and (iii) deposition sedimentary basins. Since distributed over whole Aegean domain controlled onshore offshore Neogene We reconstructed this two-stage evolution 3D four steps at scale using available ages...
Even though the rheology of thrust wedges is mostly frictional, a basal ductile decollement often involved. By comparison with purely frictional wedges, such brittle‐ductile generally display anomalous structures as backward vergence, widely spaced units, and nonfrontward sequences development. Laboratory experiments are used here to study deformation wedges. Results compared natural systems in Jura Mountains northern Pakistan Salt Range Potwar Plateau. Two series three models illustrate...
Plutonic and metamorphic rocks of the southwest part Rhodope massif in Greece correspond to ductile lower crust exhumed deformed along a major detachment during post-thickening extensional tectonics. Extension started Oligocene is responsible for development Miocene–Quaternary sedimentary basins. Both brittle deformations result from gravity collapse previously thickened lithosphere, as proposed others large extended terranes. This interpretation disagrees with previous models which...
Using analog modeling aided by digital image analysis (DPIV), we constrained the long‐term kinematic evolution of strain partitioning in transpressional brittle wedges as a function convergence angle. We ran series dry quartz sand experiments representing highly oblique continent‐continent collision (convergence angles 4° to 30°). The provided high‐resolution constraints on these wedges, which could be subdivided distinct stages, comprising (1) an initial “distributed strain” stage and (2)...
The extension of a previously thickened lithosphere is studied through series analogue experiments. models deformed in free and boundary‐controlled gravity spreading conditions that simulate the development wide rift‐type core complex‐type structures. In models, structures mainly depends on boundary velocity therefore bulk strain rate. Wide rifts are tilted block‐type at high rate horst‐ graben‐type low metamorphic enhanced by rates presence weak heterogeneities within ductile crust. Core...
Small‐scale centrifuge models were used to investigate the role of continental rift structure in controlling patterns magma migration and emplacement. Experiments considered reactivation weakness zones lower crust presence at Moho depths. Results suggest that surface deformation, which reflects zone geometry, exerts a major control on migration. In case single segment, experimental both transferred an extension‐parallel direction toward flanks. This lateral reflected dominance far‐field...
Abstract Southern Ethiopia is a key region to understand the evolution of East African rift system, since it area interaction between main Ethiopian (MER) and Kenyan rift. However, geological data constraining in this remote are still relatively sparse. In study timing, distribution, style rifting southern constrained by new structural, geochronological, geomorphological data. The border faults roughly parallel preexisting basement fabrics progressively more oblique with respect regional...
It is widely accepted that subduction initiation at modern Earth passive margin systems critically depends on the buoyancy and strength of oceanic lithosphere requires failure load-bearing crustal mantle layers. As such, upon orthogonal convergence controlled by age thus contrast margin. However, it still unclear where along how initiates. In particular, rheologically-controlled mechanisms are poorly understood require further investigation. Therefore, this combined analogue numerical...
