The role of gravity in orogenic belts

Ramberg, H.·1981·Geological Society, London, Special Publications

Abstract

Summary: The diapiric and nappe structures of the Caledonides in Scandanavia are briefly discussed and compared with similar structures in other orogenic belts. The buoyancy of sialic basement is discussed and a theoretical treatment of basement buoyancy is outlined. The gravitational spreading of nappes is then considered. Two theoretical models are presented: the first considers the condition of free slip on the base and the second deals with the more realistic situation when the base exhibits coherence.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A topographic high in the southwest led to a change in the dip direction of the frontal slope of the wedge from NNW to ENE, inferred to cause a component of movement orthogonal to the thrust belt, possibly by gravitational spreading.

    “In Figure 16f the topographic high in the southwest leads to a change in the dip direction of the frontal slope of the wedge, from a NNW to an ENE orientation, which is inferred to cause a component of movement orthogonal to the thrust belt, possibly by gravitational spreading [Ramberg, 1981].”

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.
