Tectonic Development of the Appalachian Orogen

在过去的三十年里， 对我们这个充满活力的星球的理解。 板块概念 地质构造学是科学上最具革命性的进步之一 完全改变了地质学家看待 地球 发展中最重要的领域之一， 板块构造的概念是阿巴拉契亚造山带。 研讨会将集中在对构造的理解 阿巴拉契亚造山带的元素和时间， 地质断面通过南阿巴拉契亚造山带， 北卡罗来纳州、田纳西州、弗吉尼亚州和遥远的北方 横跨纽芬兰的阿巴拉契亚山脉。此外该 北方阿巴拉契亚造山带的研究将不那么详细。

During the last three decades, great strides have been made in the understanding of our dynamic planet. The concept of plate tectonics is one of the most revolutionary advances in science and has completely changed the way geologists look at the Earth. One of the most important areas in the development of the concept of plate tectonics is the Appalachian Orogen.The workshop will focus on an understanding of the tectonic elements and timing of the Appalachian Orogen by examining geologic transect through the Southern Appalachian Orogen in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia and the far Northern Appalachian Orogen across Newfoundland. In addition, the Northern Appalachian Orogen will be examined in less detail.
