Many papers relate the evolution of the Middle American terranes over the past billion years to global scale events, and a second theme running through the book relates to the supercontinents, Rodinia and Pangea, the geometry of their amalgamation and breakup, and the processes responsible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlights include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· An update on the geographic record, tectonic setting, and provenance of these terranes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· Documentation of allocthonous nature and position peripheral to Amazonia of the ~1 Ga basement of southern Mexico \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· Data demonstrating that the basement rocks were involved in several Phanerozoic tectonic events \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· An examination of new evidence of a Late Paleozoic event associated with the amalgamation of Pangea overprinting the ~1 Ga basement and the Paleozoic units lying chiefly to the west and south of it \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· An exploration of the following potential correlatives: (1) events in Europe on the northern margin of Gondwana; (2) the Late Silurian-Devonian Acadian orogeny in the Appalachian, which is inferred to have resulted from flat-slab subduction related to overriding a plume; and (3) Mesozoic-Cenozoic events along the western margin of Laurentia \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· A discussion of possible mechanisms for the initiation of orogeny, flat-slab subduction in the Laramide orogeny, and hypotheses relating to the amalgamation and breakup of supercontine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583988523246,"sku":"9781420073706","price":277.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/middle-american-terranes-potential-correlatives-and-orogenic-processes-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
