The South Middle Atlas front constitutes a northeast-trending shear zone, located north of the Neogene Missour basin and east
of the Taza Guercif basin. This paper analyses the Southern Middle Atlas Fault Zone (SMAFZ) deformation since the Pliocene.
The set of structures observed suggests that reverse and thrust faulting along the central part of the SMAFZ are combined
with left-lateral slip along N–S striking faults of its south-western termination and right-lateral faulting along E–NE striking
faults of the east–northeast termination. Thrusts and oblique thrust-related anticlines of the two lateral ramps partly accommodate
north-west directed motion of the African plate. The Thrusts probably resulted from rejuvenation of Jurassic normal faults;
they were active during the Upper Miocene–Pliocene and the Pleistocene. The geometries of positive inversion structures and
buttressing effects are clearly dependent on the geometry and sedimentology of the original basin-controlling fault system
and on the presence of a décollement level. Field mapping is integrated with Landsat imagery and a digital elevation model
to investigate the morphotectonic evolution of the south-eastern range front of the Middle Atlas. Geomorphological features
provide significant information on the processes that govern lateral propagation of active anticlines. Both suggest that the
deformation front may have been active since Pliocene. 相似文献

The Majunga Basin is located in the northwestern part of Madagascar with a N45–60°E trending axis. It was filled by almost exclusively continental Karoo Supergroup sediments, which are Permian to Early Jurassic in age, and by younger sequences, mainly marine, that were deposited from the Middle Jurassic to the present.The Karoo Basin geometry is deduced from the analysis of seismic sections. A central northeast trending horst is flanked by two sub-basins. Deposition of the Karoo sequences was controlled by these northeast trending faults. On the contrary, the Middle Jurassic to present sequences witness only a slight tilting of the basement towards the northwest.The development of the Majunga Basin includes, therefore, two successive stages. In the synrift episode, from Permian to Early Jurassic times, the sedimentation was syntectonic, controlled by synsedimentary faulting and the creation of a horst and graben extensive pattern. The postrift episode started during the Middle Jurassic.These two stages of the Majunga Basin development correspond to the geodynamic evolution recorded elsewhere in this part of the Gondwana. 相似文献
