Different styles of deformation of the fore-arc wedge along the Chilean convergent margin : insights from 3D numerical experiments

Year: 2007

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This thesis aims to understand these changes and reasons behind by analyzing thestyles of deformation of the western margin of South America, in particular the surfaceexpression of deformation, along the Chilean convergent margin. To understand theparameters controlling the style of deformation in the chosen areas I applied 3D transient numerical modeling. This thesis represents the first real 3D study analyzing deformation caused by oblique convergence associated with a realistic composite rheology.
