Description and hierarchy of ductile deformation events in the Camalaú region, state of Paraíba, central portion of the Alto Moxotó Terrane, Borborema Province, Brazil
Abstract:The Borborema Province (NE Brazil) has a long history of deformation, magmatism and metamorphism during the Precambrian Eon. Thus, it represents a natural laboratory to investigate widely developed ductile-deformation markers, such as major fold belts and large-scale shear zones. This paper describes the structural evolution of a complex folded area of the Alto Moxotó Terrane, Central Borborema Province. In this region, para-derived rocks of the Sertânia Complex are intruded by orthogneisses and migmatitic ort… 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.
