Northward translation of mesozoic batholits, western North America: paleomagnetic evidence and tectonic significance
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
lnvestigaciones paleomagnéticas indican que muchos, quizá todos, los batolitos Mesozoicos localizados en el margen occidental de Norteamerica se originaron al sur de sus localidades presentes. Dos clases de transporte tectónico han contribuido a esta migración tectónica general: (1) transporte estilo California, en el cual los batolitos son separados de la masa continental a través de fallas transformadas; y (2) transporte estilo Sunda, en el cual un fragmento de litósfera, incluyendo a los batolitos, es trasladado a lo largo del margen continental en respuesta a procesos de subducción oblicua. La interacción de la placa Norteamericana con las placas Farallón y Kula puede explicar la creación de los batolitos, así como su transporte hacia el norte.
