This paper examines the application of the theory of plate tectonics for a specific part of the Earths surface the Caribbean region. Gravity anomalies, topography, volcanoes, seismicity, and the terrestrial flow of heat are inferred to be indicators of present tectonic activity, and maps illustrating these parameters are
Jan 01, 1999 CARIBBEAN SEDIMENTARY BASINS CLASSIFICATION AND TECTONIC SETTING Eastern Venezuelan and Maracaibo basins This basin is a major foreland basin marked by a 150 mGal gravity low formed by oblique con- vergence between the South American continent (Guyana Shield) and the Caribbean arc system in Oligocene and Miocene time (di Croce et al., Chap- ter 16 Flinch et al., Chapter 17).
Key tectonic features of the Eastern Caribbean region, including Central and Eastern Venezuela and Trinidad, and key features referred to in the text. The background for the map is the satellite gravity of Smith and Sandwell (1997). Today, Caribbean crust lies east of Tobago and under Barbados. This crust and the Caribbean accretionary

Oct 14, 2019 The work hypothesis is based on the analysis of the residuals resulting from the gravity gradients derived from the EIGEN-6C4 potential field model (Frste et al., 2014) downloaded from ICGEM , and the gravity gradients response of 3-D density and structural models of the Caribbean lithosphere. Specifically, our hypothesis states that the ...
Jan 29, 2021 In this paper, the main goal is to evaluate the present-day 3D lithospheric structure of the South Caribbean margin (continental and oceanic domains black box in Fig. 1) by means of modelling of the gravity anomalies (Gz), which are especially sensitive to deep density distributions (lvarez et al., 2014, 2015) and are therefore a potential tool for analysing the upper 200 km of the Earth.
Oct 16, 2019 The impact was particularly hard on countries in the Eastern Caribbean (in particular Antigua and Barbuda and St. Kitts-Nevis), Suriname, and Belize. 5 The gravity of the problem was caught by a 2016 discussion paper from the Caribbean Development Bank, which stated
Specific gravity is used to predict the hardness of wood with a fair degree of accuracy, and given its incredibly high density, (it sinks in water see video below), Cocobolos hardness (and other strength properties) is most likely several times higher than the 1,100 lb f which is sometimes reported.
Mar 10, 2021 Using the Pn tomography method and new ISC-EHB data, we obtained a new Pn velocity and anisotropy model of the uppermost mantle in eastern Caribbean. The consistency between the Pn fast directions and SKS splitting fast wave directions indicates that the anisotropic structure of the uppermost mantle in the area of the collisional plate boundary ...
Oct 01, 1975 The results of marine geophysical surveys across the Lesser Antilles in 1971 and 1972 by Durham University and the Royal Navy as part of the CICAR Project have revealed that the arc front sediment complex is nearly 20 km thick beneath the Barbados Ridge, where the igneous crust of the Atlantic is subducted beneath the Caribbean Plate.
Jul 28, 2017 Barite was named after the Greek word Barys meaning heavy. This heavy nature can be explained by its exceptionally Specific Gravity of 4.5, a number thats very high for a nonmetallic mineral. The chemical composition of this sedimentary rock is mostly made up by Barium Sulfate.
The Qualibou caldera on the SW side of St. Lucia provides the setting for the Pitons, two steep-sided pre-caldera lava domes that form one of the scenic highlights of the West Indies. The 3.5 x 5 km caldera formed about 32-39,000 years ago in conjunction with the eruption of the Choiseul Tuff. A larger depression has been interpreted to have formed by edifice collapse, and bathymetry has ...
Gravity modeling of the Muertos Trough and tectonic implications (north-eastern Caribbean) The Muertos Trough in the northeast Caribbean has been interpreted as a subduction zone from seismicity, leading to infer a possible reversal subduction polarity.

Jan 14, 2019 The Caribbean is a complex region that heavily relies on its rainfall cycle for its economic and societal needs. This makes the Caribbean especially susceptible to hydro-meteorological disasters (i.e. droughts and floods). Previous studies have investigated the seasonal cycle of rainfall in the Caribbean with monthly or longer resolutions that often mask the seasonal transitions and regional ...

Sep 18, 2021 Copper has been found on almost every continent. It has also been mined in Central America, the Caribbean, Northeast Asia, North Central Asia, the Southeast Asian Archipelagos, Eastern Australia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. One of the largest current sources of copper mining today is in Chile. Amount of Copper Worldwide
Sep 01, 2021 The mineral associations are composed of heavy (abbreviated to HM) and light minerals (LM) separated from each other by the specific gravity level of 2.9 g/cm 3 . The third group of minerals called phyllosilicates sensu lato or clay minerals (CM) are treated as separate entity because of their transitional character between LM and HM.

The measures employed are standard in gravity models, which have enjoyed great empirical success in the trade literature.7 Moreover, the gravity model allows tests of whether Cuba and competing Caribbean destinations would adjust their tourism base to hedge potential gains ...
Over the last decade, the Caribbean has seen massive, episodic influxes of pelagic sargassum negatively impacting coastal ecosystems, peoples livelihoods and climate-sensitive sectors. Addressing this issue solely as a hazard has proven extremely costly and attention is slowly turning towards the potential opportunities for sargassum reuse and valorization. However, turning the sargassum ...
Amber is a member of the organic gemstone family, just like Coral, Pearls and Jet. These gemstones do not have an organised crystal structure and so cannot be classified as a mineral. Each Amber gemstone is unique and likely mined from the Baltic region. Its the place where the majority of Amber deposits are discovered.
