Investigation of Arc Processes: Relationships Between Orogeny, Mountain Building, and the Role of Crustal Anistropy in the Peninsular Ranges Batholith, Baja Californi

小行星9614682 构造板块之间的会聚边界涉及地壳变形、变质和岩浆作用等过程。 这些内部过程的地表对应物包括火山作用、高平均海拔、地形起伏和快速折返，但这些地表过程与内部造山过程之间的联系是神秘的。 该项目将探讨经历了多方面构造历史的大陆边缘造山运动和造山运动之间的相互联系过程。 半岛山脉下加利福尼亚在一个可管理的区域内提供了一套暴露良好的构造组合，为更好地理解地表表现和内部造山过程之间的联系提供了相当大的希望。

9614682 Paterson Convergent boundaries between tectonic plates involve such processes as crustal deformation metamorphism and magmatism. The surficial counterparts to these internal processes include volcanism, high average elevation, topographic relief and rapid exhumation, but the connections between these surficial processes and the internal orogenic processes are enigmatic. This project will address linked processes between orogeny and mountain building in a continental margin that has experienced a multifaceted tectonic history. The Peninsular Ranges Baja California offers a well exposed set of tectonic assemblages within a manageable area that holds considerable promise for better understanding the connection between surface manifestation and internal orogenic processes.
