Tectonic evolution of submarine canyons along the California continental margin Tectonic evolution of submarine canyons along the California continental margin

The development of submarine canyons along active-plate margins commonly is influenced by tectonic processes. Recent studies of submarine canyons along the transform margin of western North America show that the origin and subsequent evolution of many canyons are correlatable with plate motion and plate-margin deformation. Elements of canyon morphology such as bends and meanders commonly...

Magmatic evolution of the Gulf of California rift Magmatic evolution of the Gulf of California rift

Magmatic events in the Baja peninsula-Gulf of California region are closely related to sequential tectonic regimes of: (1) late Tertiary subduction beneath the continental margin until ~16 to 12.5 Ma; and (2) continental to oceanic rifting that began about 13 Ma. Orogenic calcalkaline volcanic rocks formed subparallel belts of rhyolite ignimbrite of Oligocene age (~34 to 27 Ma) east of...

The relationship between stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios of water in astomatal plants The relationship between stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios of water in astomatal plants

Isotropic fractination of leaf water during transpiration is influenced by both equilibrium and kinetic factors. Previous workers have predicted that the influence of each factor varies depending upon the path of water loss,m whether centralized through stomata, or diffuse through the cuticle. We studied the relationship between the δD and δ18O values of lead and stem waters of laurel...
