Mountain building processes / by Hsu, Kenneth J.

Active mountain-building in Mongolia and Iran by Nissen, E, Edwin Nissen

“…In this thesis I use a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate two areas of active mountain-building within the Alpine-Himalayan belt: the Altai range in western Mongolia, and the Zagros mountains in southern Iran. …”

Cycles of Andean mountain building archived in the Amazon Fan by Cody C. Mason, Brian W. Romans, Molly O. Patterson, Daniel F. Stockli, Andrea Fildani

“…Here the authors analyze detrital zircons found in the Amazon deep-sea fan that record mountain-building events and reveal cycles of orogenesis with periods of ~60–90 Myr since the Phanerozoic.…”

Andean mountain building did not preclude dispersal of lowland Epiphytic orchids in the Neotropics. by Pérez-Escobar, O, Gottschling, M, Chomicki, G, Condamine, F, Klitgård, B, Pansarin, E, Gerlach, G

“…Notably, these rare biological exchanges occurred well after major mountain building periods. The Andes have limited plant migration, yet it has seldom allowed episodic gene exchange of lowland epiphyte lineages such as orchids with great potential for effortless dispersal because of the very light, anemochorous seeds.…”

Weak, Seismogenic Faults Inherited From Mesozoic Rifts Control Mountain Building in the Andean Foreland by Sam Wimpenny

“…Therefore pre‐existing faults in the Andean forelands have remained weak and seismogenic after reactivation, and have influenced the style of mountain building in South America. However, the controls on their mechanical properties in the lower crust remain unclear.…”

Structural Geology / by Rock, Rosana, author 639575

“…This understanding of the dynamics of the stress field can be linked to important events in the regional geologic past; a common goal is to understand the structural evolution of a particular area with respect to regionally widespread patterns of rock deformation (e.g., mountain building, rifting) due to plate tectonics.…”

Two-stage subduction history under North America inferred from multiple-frequency tomography by Sigloch, K, McQuarrie, N, Nolet, G

“…We argue that the separation between them is linked to the Laramide era 70-50 Myr ago, a time of unusual volcanism and mountain-building far inland generally explained by an episode of extremely flat subduction. © 2008 Macmillan Publishers Limited.…”

ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPOSITION OF CHROMITES AND THEIR TECTONIC-MAGMATIC POSITION IN PERIDOTITE BODIES IN THE SW OF TURKEY by G. van der KAADEN

The origin of mountains - implications for the behaviour of Earth's lithosphere by Lamb, S, Watts, A

“…The nature of deformation during mountain building is strongly controlled by the interaction of lithosphere of different strengths.…”

Garnet microstructures suggest ultra-fast decompression of ultrahigh-pressure rocks by Cindy Luisier, Lucie Tajčmanová, Philippe Yamato, Thibault Duretz

“…Abstract Plate tectonics is a key driver of many natural phenomena occurring on Earth, such as mountain building, climate evolution and natural disasters. …”
