Strike-slip related folding within the Malvinas/Falkland Trough (south-western Atlantic ocean)

Abstract: This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, a… Show more

“…Based on displaced markers, Torres-Carbonell et al (2008a) estimate ~50 km of sinistral strike-slip motion since the late Miocene. This age corresponds to the ~7 Ma onset of folding in the Falkland Trough, the offshore continuation of the South America-Scotia plate boundary (Esteban et al, 2020).…”

“…After complete shut-down of the southern segment of the trench, only the ~N-S striking portion of the subduction zone in the east remained, with E-W oriented back-arc spreading in the East Scotia Sea (Larter et al, 2003). At 7 Ma, transform motion started in the north, forming the Magallanes-Fagnano Fault Zone, and thereby the Scotia Plate (Torres-Carbonell et al, 2008a;Esteban et al, 2020). Shortly after, seafloor spreading in the West Scotia Basin ceased, at ~6 Ma (Eagles et al, 2005).…”

“…(MCZ) está caracterizado por: i) una extensa escarpa (1100 km) correspondiente a la zona de falla de Malvinas-Agulhas (Ramos, 1996) con un rechazo de aproximadamente 2000 m, ii) una zona de falla de transformación (TFZ, Transform Fracture Zone) que separa dos basamentos, uno alto y liso hacia el sur y el otro bajo y rugoso hacia el norte, en coincidencia con máximas profundidades al lecho marino y iii) el extremo sur de la cuenca Argentina. El sector del MCA que se ubica en el borde de extensión pasivo de tipo volcánico (Urien y Zambrano, 1996;Hinz et al, 1999;Esteban et al, 2020), se caracteriza por una significativa reducción del espesor de la corteza continental, de 29 a 6 km aproximadamente (Pizarro et al, 2012;Arecco et al, 2014Arecco et al, y 2023Pizarro, 2020), a partir del talud (Figura 2). Se han detectado reflectores sísmicos intrabasamentales que inclinan hacia el mar (SDRs, Seawards Dipping Reflectors) característicos de los márgenes pasivos de tipo volcánico (Figura 2), formados por flujos basálticos, cuyo emplazamiento habría sido episódico en coincidencia con la segmentación producida por las zonas de fallas de transformación (TFZs, Transform Fracture Zones) del Salado, Colorado, Ventana y Malvinas (Franke et al, 2007) (Figura 3).…”
