Principles of Practical Tectonic Analysis of Cratonic Regions With Particular Reference to Western North America /

Steep crystalline-basement faults, commonly indicated by potential-field anomalies, played a crucial role in evolution of continental cratonic platforms. In the Phanerozoic Western Canada Sedimentary Province, history of crustal block movements and warps is reconstructed from the distribution of dep...
