9706294伯班克与褶皱对山脉地带一样重要,但对褶皱的演化速度和样式的了解却很少。这项提议将利用河流阶地在时间和空间上的分布来解决这一问题,即确定新西兰北部岛屿的扭压地区的褶皱发育速度。由于河流阶地可以确定年代,活动时的高程可以计算,因此景观的任何变形都将导致这些未使用的梯田被永久遗弃和保护。通过识别一系列这样的梯田,可以计算出海拔在时间和空间上的演变,从而揭示活动褶皱对景观的影响。
英文摘要
9706294 Burbank As important as folding is to mountain belts, an understanding of the rates and styles of evolution of folds is very poorly known. This proposal will use the distribution of fluvial terraces in time and space to address this problem of identifying the rates of fold development in a the transpressional region of the northern island of New Zealand. Because fluvial terraces can be dated, and their elevations while active can be calculated, any deformation of the landscape will lead to permanent abandonment and preservation of these unused terraces. By identifying a series of such terraces, the evolution of elevations in time and space can be calculated, thus revealing the effect of active folding on the landscape.
