Abstract

The topography of the central Andes can be considered the primary tectonic “signal” of late Cenozoic mountain building in an arid region where the effects of uplift and magmatism are little obscured by denudation. The spatial coverage of the topographic signal is more complete than that for sparsely sampled geological and geophysical data. A color‐coded image of digitized topography between 12°S and 37°S highlights the Altiplano‐Puna, one of the world's most remarkable plateaus, and reveals important physiographic clues about the formation of that major feature. The topographic data combined with information on structure, magmatism, seismicity, and paleomagnetism support a simple kinematical model for the late Cenozoic evolution of the central Andes. The model does not require collisional effects or enormous volumes of intrusive additions to the crust but instead calls upon plausible amounts of crustal shortening and lithospheric thinning. The model interrelates Andean uplift, a changing geometry of the subducted Nazca plate, and a changing outline (in map view) of the leading edge of the South American plate. Crustal shortening has accommodated convergence between the Chilean‐Peruvian forearc and the South American foreland. The Altiplano‐Puna plateau can be constructed by a combination of crustal shortening and thickening and lithospheric thinning above a shallow dipping (20°–30°) subducted plate. The seawardly concave bend of western South America, the “Bolivian orocline,”…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
