The urban agglomeration in central Guizhou is located in a crustal deformation area caused by tectonic uplift between the Mesozoic orogenic belt of East Asia and the Alpine-Tethys Cenozoic orogenic belt, with high mountains, steep slopes, fractured rock masses and a fragile ecological environment; this area is the most affected by landslides in Guizhou Province, China. In the past decade, there were a total of 613 medium and large landslide disasters, resulting in 137 deaths and a direct economic loss of 1.032 billion yuan.

Heterogeneous fault architecture affects crustal seismotectonics and fluid migration. When studying it, we commonly rely on static conceptual models that generally overlook the absolute time dimension of fault (re)activation. Heterogenous faults, however, represent the end-result of protracted, cumulative and intricate deformation histories.

Recent reconnaissance geochemical investigations have unveiled Cryogenian magmatism linked to the compressional accretionary phase, contributing to the growth of the Afif Terrane in the eastern Arabian Shield. The Cryogenian Suwaj intrusive suite, within the Afif Terrane, displays a compositional range from gabbro-diorite to tonalite-granodiorite. The uniform compositional variation is primarily due to magmatic differentiation within parental magma across multiple pulses.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how the growth and calcification of the appendicular skeleton in the Raja asterias affects its movement in water, highlighting the link between bone structure and fin mechanics.
  • It identifies two growth patterns—crustal in larger skeletal parts and catenated in fin radials—showing how differences in development can influence fin flexibility and locomotion.
  • The results suggest that unique calcification patterns, especially in the pelvic fins, evolve to meet the mechanical needs of swimming, emphasizing the adaptability of Batoidea fins through their joint structures and specialized designs.

Article Synopsis
  • Orogenic growth leads to crustal thickening, which increases elevation and enhances precipitation, thus impacting erosion and deformation processes.
  • A numerical model shows that rock uplift, precipitation, and erosion rates in intermediate erodibility orogens are highly correlated, particularly during the formation of orogenic plateaus.
  • The study reveals how the development of new faults affects the cyclical relationships among these processes, offering insights into erosion controls in active mountain ranges like the Himalayas and potentially resolving conflicting interpretations related to fault maturity.
