  • Subsidence and Growth of Pacific Cretaceous Plateaus
    ELSEVIER Earth and Planetary Science Letters 161 (1998) 85±100 Subsidence and growth of Paci®c Cretaceous plateaus Garrett Ito a,Ł, Peter D. Clift b a School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, POST 713, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA b Department of Geology and Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA Received 10 November 1997; revised version received 11 May 1998; accepted 4 June 1998 Abstract The Ontong Java, Manihiki, and Shatsky oceanic plateaus are among the Earth's largest igneous provinces and are commonly believed to have erupted rapidly during the surfacing of giant heads of initiating mantle plumes. We investigate this hypothesis by using sediment descriptions of Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) drill cores to constrain plateau subsidence histories which re¯ect mantle thermal and crustal accretionary processes. We ®nd that total plateau subsidence is comparable to that expected of normal sea¯oor but less than predictions of thermal models of hotspot-affected lithosphere. If crustal emplacement was rapid, then uncertainties in paleo-water depths allow for the anomalous subsidence predicted for plumes with only moderate temperature anomalies and volumes, comparable to the sources of modern-day hotspots such as Hawaii and Iceland. Rapid emplacement over a plume head of high temperature and volume, however, is dif®cult to reconcile with the subsidence reconstructions. An alternative possibility that reconciles low subsidence over a high-temperature, high-volume plume source is a scenario in which plateau subsidence is the superposition of (1) subsidence due to the cooling of the plume source, and (2) uplift due to prolonged crustal growth in the form of magmatic underplating.

Differently from the common wind waves, tsunamis are characterized by large wavelengths (ranging from tens to hundreds of km) and long periods (ranging from minutes to hours). Several natural phenomena such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, the rapid change of atmospheric pressure (meteotsunami), or asteroids impacts can be the source of a tsunami; among these, the most frequent is represented by the earthquakes. Most of the very tsunamigenic earthquakes occur nearby the Earth convergent boundaries (Fig.

The target study area is a Philippine Sea basin (PSB) with two focused marginal areas: Philippine Trench and Mariana Trench, two hadal trenches located in the places of the tectonic plates subduction. Marine free-air gravity anomaly in the PSP shows higher values (>80 mGal) of the gravity fields structure at the volcanic areas and Philippine archipelago. Current study presented comparative geophysical analysis, and mapping free-air gravity and geoid in the Philippine Sea basin area. As a result of this study, the average level of earthquakes located in the Philippine Trench and Mariana Trench areas were compared, and those located in the Philippine archipelago are determined to be in the souther-western part (area of west Mindanao, south-west Visayas islands), while Luzon Islands shown shallower located earthquakes.

We also analyzed the various explanatory models in light of this updated dataset. The following main conclusions are discussed in this study. (1) The Izanagi slab detachment beneath the East Asia margin around 60–55 Ma likely triggered the Oki-Daito plume occurrence, Mesozoic proto-PSP splitting, shortening and then failure across the paleo-transform boundary between the proto-PSP and the Pacific Plate, Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction initiation and ultimately PSP inception. (2) The initial splitting phase of the composite proto-PSP under the plume influence at ∼54–48 Ma led to the formation of the long-lived West Philippine Basin and short-lived oceanic basins, part of whose crust has been ambiguously called “fore-arc basalts” (FABs). (3) Shortening across the paleo-transform boundary evolved into thrusting within the Pacific Plate at ∼52–50 Ma, allowing it to subduct beneath the newly formed PSP, which was composed of an alternance of thick Mesozoic terranes and thin oceanic lithosphere.

    Rhiana Elizabeth Henry Tectonic History Hildebrand Project 1A December 9th, 2016 North America subducted under Rubia Are there modern analogs for Hildebrand’s model of North America subducting under Rubia? In the Geological Society of America Special Papers “Did Westward Subduction Cause Cretaceous–Tertiary Orogeny in the North American Cordillera?” and “Mesozoic Assembly of the North American Cordillera” by Robert S. Hildebrand, the author argues that the North American continent experienced westward subduction under what he calls a “ribbon continent” known as Rubia around ~124Ma. This ribbon continent is composed of multiple terranes both known to be exotic to North America, and terranes that were previously thought to be part of North America. As the seaway between Rubia and North America closed, Hildebrand postulates that North America was dragged underneath with the oceanic crust. This continental material combined with the fluids from the margin caused great amounts of magmatism in the North American Cordillera. Eventually the continental crust broke due to upward buoyancy. This caused slab failure around 75-60 Ma, followed by a reversal of subduction polarity around 53 Ma, with eastward subduction through the mid- Tertiary (Fig. 1). As a way of checking to see if this hypothesis is plausible, I investigated modern geologic settings that are undergoing similar tectonic events. Although these regions are Figure 1: Hildebrand’s model of subduction of not perfect analogies, they share enough North America and Rubia. From Hildebrand, 2009. 1 Rhiana Elizabeth Henry Tectonic History Hildebrand Project 1A December 9th, 2016 tectonic features that Hildebrand’s model appears somewhat less outlandish.

  • Plate Tectonics and the Cycling of Earth Materials
    Plate Tectonics and the cycling of Earth materials Plate tectonics drives the rock cycle: the movement of rocks (and the minerals that comprise them, and the chemical elements that comprise them) from one reservoir to another Arrows are pathways, or fluxes, the I,M.S rocks are processes that “reservoirs” - places move material from one reservoir where material is temporarily stored to another We need to be able to identify these three types of rocks. Why? They convey information about the geologic history of a region. What types of environments are characterized by the processes that produce igneous rocks? What types of environments are preserved by the accumulation of sediment? What types of environments are characterized by the tremendous heat and pressure that produces metamorphic rocks? How the rock cycle integrates into plate tectonics. In order to understand the concept that plate tectonics drives the rock cycle, we need to understand what the theory of plate tectonics says about how the earth works The major plates in today’s Earth (there have been different plates in the Earth’s past!) What is a “plate”? The “plate” of plate tectonics is short for “lithospheric plate” - - the outermost shell of the Earth that behaves as a rigid substance. What does it mean to behave as a rigid substance? The lithosphere is ~150 km thick. It consists of the crust + the uppermost mantle. Below the lithosphere the asthenosphere behaves as a ductile layer: one that flows when stressed It means that when the substance undergoes stress, it breaks (a non-rigid, or ductile, substance flows when stressed; for example, ice flows; what we call a glacier) Since the plates are rigid, brittle 150km thick slabs of the earth, there is a lot of “action”at the edges where they abut other plates We recognize 3 types of plate boundaries, or edges.

Sci., Vol. 26, No. 6, 679-686, December 2015 doi: 10.3319/TAO.2015.05.11.04(TC) Philippine Island Arc System Tectonic Features Inferred from Magnetic Data Analysis Wen-Bin Doo1, *, Shu-Kun Hsu1, 2, and Leo Armada 2 1 Center for Environmental Studies, National Central University, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2 Department of Earth Sciences, National Central University, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, R.O.C. Received 18 February 2013, revised 22 November 2013, accepted 11 May 2015 ABSTRACT Running along the middle of the Philippine archipelago from south to north, the Philippine fault zone is one of the world’s major strike-slip faults. Intense volcanism in the archipelago is attributed to the ongoing subduction along the trench systems surrounding it. This study interprets the magnetic data covering the Philippine fault zone and the bounding archi- pelago subduction systems to understand the structural characteristics of the study area. Magnetic data analysis suggests that the Philippine fault is roughly distributed along the boundary of high/low magnetization and separates the different amplitude features of the first order analytic signal. Visayas province is a specific area bounded by the other parts of the Philippine ar- chipelago. Further differentiating the tectonic units, the proto-Southeast Bohol Trench should be the main tectonic boundary between Visayas and Mindanao. A clear NE - SW boundary separates Luzon from Visayas as shown by the variant depths to the top of the magnetic basement. This boundary could suggest the different tectonic characteristics of the two regions. Key words: Philippine fault, Philippine archipelago, Magnetic data, Tectonic Citation: Doo, W.
