  • Distal Impact Ejecta Layers

    A Record of Large Impacts in Sedimentary Deposits

    by Billy P. Glass, Bruce M. Simonson ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Impact cratering is an important geological process on all solid planetary bodies, and, in the case of Earth, may have had major climatic and biological effects. Most terrestrial impact craters have been erased or modified beyond recognition. However, major impacts throw ejecta over large areas of the Earth's surface. Recognition of these impact ejecta layers can help fill in the gaps in the ... Read more

  • Dyke Swarms: Keys for Geodynamic Interpretation

    by Rajesh Srivastava ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Dykes occur in a wide variety of geological and tectonic settings and their detailed study through space and time is imperative for understanding several geological events. Dykes are believed to be an integral part of continental rifting and when they occur as spatially extensive swarms of adequate size, they can be of immense utility in continental reconstructions and also help to identify Large ...

  • Tectonic Inheritance in Continental Rifts and Passive Margins

    by Achyuta Ayan Misra, Soumyajit Mukherjee ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This work reviews the mechanism of rifting with a focus on pre-existing tectonic weaknesses in pre-rift and/or basement rocks, i.e., on tectonic inheritance. The passive margins that are studied in this book are the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the Eastern North America and the East and West Indian Continental Margins. The continental rifts that have been analysed are the East African Rift System, ... Read more
