Dobras e EmpurrõesDobras e Empurrões
• Enormes cadeias de montanhas se formam quando placas convergem.
• Rochas Contorcidas mostram a força da tectônica de placas.

Evidência de Compressão LateralEvidência de Compressão Lateral
• Camadas inicialmente horizontais são dobradas, quebradas e deslocadas.
• Muitas rochas dobradas são colocadas lado a lado ou uma sobre as outras.

Estudando Falhas e DobrasEstudando Falhas e Dobras
• O ramo da geologia que estuda a deformação crustal é chamada Geologia Estrutural.
• Estruturas Geologicas.

StressStress
Unidade são Pressão: Força/Área
Três tipos de stress
a) Compressão causa dobras
b) Tensão causa afinamento
c) Cisalhamento causa falhas

DobrasDobras
• Dobras definição: Bends em camadas de rochas• Tipos: sinclinais e anticlinais Sinclinal (dobrada para baixo) Parte mais
interna são rochas mais jovens Anticlinal (Dobrada para cima) Parte mais interna dado por rochas mais antigas
Partes de uma dobras (flacos, Plano axial, eixo)
Nota: Anticlinais e sinclinais são estruturas em rochas e não superfícies da paisagem

EvoluçãEvoluçãoo• Mountain Belt evolution – 3 stages
(Accumulation, Orogenic, Uplift & Block Faulting)– Accumulation stage – accumulation of thick
sequences of sedimentary or volcanic rock along passive and active continental margins
– Orogenic stage – intense deformation, & intrusion of plutons (gravitational collapse & spreading), Wilson cycle of repeating events
– Uplift & block-faulting stage – isostatic adjustment, development of fault-block mountain ranges, lithospheric delamination

The origin and evolution of The origin and evolution of continental crustcontinental crust• There is a lack of agreement among
geologists as to the origin and evolution of continents
• Early evolution of the continents model • One proposal is that continental crust
formed early in Earth’s history
![Page 165: Colisional](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070301/5464f02ab4af9f6f048b479d/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
The origin and evolution of The origin and evolution of continental crustcontinental crust
• Early evolution of the continents model• Total volume of continental crust has not
changed appreciably since its origin
• Gradual evolution of the continents model • Continents have grown larger through
geologic time by the gradual accretion of material derived from the upper mantle
![Page 166: Colisional](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070301/5464f02ab4af9f6f048b479d/html5/thumbnails/166.jpg)
The origin and evolution of The origin and evolution of continental crustcontinental crust• Gradual evolution of the continents model
• Earliest continental rocks came into existence at a few isolated island arcs
• Evidence supporting the gradual evolution of the continents comes from research in regions of plate subduction, such as Japan and the western flanks of the Americas

Continents and OrogenyContinents and Orogeny• To a certain extent, the distinction between craton and mobile belt
is arbitrary, and relates only to the age since the last deformation event. It is nevertheless useful because once a mobile belt is stabilized, it can preserve details of geologic history for very long times.
Note this triple-junction here

Continents and OrogenyContinents and Orogeny• The rocks making up orogenic belts are a combination of juvenile materials (continental arcs
have a major mantle-derived component of new crust) and reworked rocks from older terranes (either by deformation in situ or by erosion and redeposition). One can think of major continental provinces in terms of the age of deformation, rather than the age of the rocks as such (though this will often be the same). Since not all the material in a new mobile belt is new, young mobile belts can be seen to truncate and incorporate parts of older mobile belts.

Continents and OrogenyContinents and Orogeny
• Why do continents deform in a distributed fashion over wide zones? Because continental crust and lithosphere are relatively weak. And why is that? We’ll go through the long answer…
• Orogenic belts can be thousands of kilometers wide (examples: Himalaya-Tibet-Altyn Tagh system; North American cordillera), which shows that the simple plate tectonic axiom of rigid plates with sharply defined boundaries is not that useful in describing continental dynamics.– Really, rigid plate dynamics applies best to oceanic lithosphere only.

Rheology at Plate ScaleRheology at Plate Scale
• This requires us to go into continuum mechanics, which describes how materials deform (strain) in response to applied forces (stress).
• It is possible to find clear examples where obviously weak mechanical properties of crust contribute directly to distributed deformation, as in this picture of the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt, which is full of salt (the dark spots are where the salt layers have risen as buoyant, effectively fluid blobs called diapirs or salt domes (the image is 175 km across).
• Broadly speaking, we can understand the difference between continents and oceans in this regard by considering the strength of granitic (quartz-dominated) and ultramafic (olivine-dominated) rock as functions of pressure and temperature…
