Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continental margin of eastern Canada extends from Georges Bank at 41 degrees North to Nares Strait at 80 degrees North, almost half the distance from the Pole the equator. It is a classical example of a passive or 'Atlantic" type of continental margin with a geological history reflecting at least two 'Wilson Cycles". The first gave birth to the Iapetus Ocean, and the second to the modern Atlantic and its neighbors. The margin ties the glacial history of the Canadian landmass to the adjacent ocean basins, and so to the world's oceans. Two of the basins offshore eastern Canada, the Jeanne d'Arc Basin off Newfoundland and the Scotian Basin off Nova Scotia, contain substantial resources of oil and gas. An understanding of the geology of the margin bears directly on the evolution of the whole of the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and on the generation of hydrocarbons.

Download or read book The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada written by Andrew Miall and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2019-04-20 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the tectonic setting and structural and paleogeographic evolution of the basin it covers, with details on structure and stratigraphy. The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continental margins of the world constitute the most impressive and largest physiographic feature of the earth's surface, and one of fundamentally great geological significance. Continental margins have been the subject of increasing attention in recent years, an interest focused by a body of new data that has provided new insights into their character. This interest was further stimulated by the realization that, in addition to the abundant living resources, continental margins contain petroleum and mineral resources that are accessible with existing technology. This realization, along with their basic geological importance, has provoked further research into the nature of continental margins throughout the world. A summary of these findings, as related to both recent and ancient continental margins, is the subject of this book. At various times in the past we had been approached individually to prepare a basic reference to continental margins; we then proposed to do such a volume jointly. However, the stimulus for the present volume eventually arose from a Penrose Conference arranged through the Geological Society of America. This conference was attended by specialists of numerous disciplines and from throughout the world, many of whom insisted that such a volume would be both timely and useful. Consequently, we agreed to undertake the task of assembling this book, with the objectives of making it available as soon and as inexpensively as possible.
Download or read book Crustal Properties Across Passive Margins written by C. E. Keen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in Geotectonics, 15: Crustal Properties across Passive Margins covers the papers presented at the symposium ""Crustal Properties across Passive Margins"", held at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia on June 19-23, 1978. The book focuses on theoretical modelling of the rheological properties in the upper mantle beneath oceans and continents and stratigraphic studies of the sedimentary basins. The selection first offers information on seismic refraction study of the continental edge off the Eastern United States and gravity field of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin. Topics include crustal sections, inner and outer quiet zones, alternative models and complications, gravity models, free-air anomaly map, and the ocean-continent transition zone. The text then takes a look at the geologic history of the passive margin off New England and the Canadian Maritime Provinces and geophysical observations bearing upon the origin of the Newfoundland Ridge. The manuscript elaborates on the age and origin of the deepest correlative structures recognized off Canada and Europe and geophysical transects of the Labrador Sea. Discussions focus on magnetics and gravity, stratigraphic control, consequences regarding subduction or rifting, and deep structures of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in crustal properties across passive margins.
Download or read book Geological and Tectonic Framework of Eastern Canada as Interpreted from Potential Field Imagery written by J. M. Woodside and published by Geological Survey of Canada. This book was released on 1989 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent compilation of all gravity and magnetic anomaly data for offshore and eastern Canada provides an unprecedented perspective on the geological framework of the region. Classification of the region by similarities in the patterns and trends of gravity and magnetic data observed at a scale of 1:5,000,000 indicates geological affinities within structural provinces and tectonic relationships between geological domains. This report examines the correlation between the potential field data and regional geology, and provides a key to the published results and current research on regional structure as interpreted using the available geophysical and geological information.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-continental margins lack thick lavas that are generated as continental crust thins immediately prior to the onset of seafloor spreading. They may form up to 30 per cent of passive margins around the world. This volume contains papers examining an active margin, fossil margins that border present day oceans, and remnants of margins exposed today in the Alps. The papers present evidence across a range of scales, from individual mineral grains, through borelide cores and outcrop, to whole margins at the crustal scale.

Download or read book The Ancient Western North American Margin written by L. C. Struik and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent work in the North American Cordillera emphasized the differencesbetween fault-bounded blocks of stratigraphy and as a consequence, theCordillera was subdivided into terranes. In east-central British Columbia, 5fault-bounded terranes are distinguished by their unique stratigraphy. Thispaper interprets the palinspastic geology of those terranes and how theycould come together, then showing that the terranes of east-centralCordillera were probably separated by highlands rather than oceans. Modifications to Trumpy's (1960) model for the Alps are discussed, thestratigraphy of the terranes summarized, and the Triassic palinspasticcross-section described. Finally the reconstruction of the Precambrian toPaleozoic western Canadian margin are discussed by relating the stratigraphyof the eastern Cordilleran terranes to the possible tectonic events thatcreated them.
