Abstract:Differences in tectonic style and kinematics in orogenic belts can result from either multiphase or progressive deformation. In eastern Borborema Province, a regional shallow dipping foliation is multiply folded and crosscut by transcurrent shear zones. Here, we investigate if these fabrics resulted from diachronous deformational events or from a single-phase progressive deformation. The study area, the Feira Nova region, mostly comprises metasedimentary rocks from the Surubim Complex, and is bounded by the NE… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
