Kinematics of Tertiary to Quaternary intracontinental deformation of upper crust in the Eastern Cordillera, southern Central Andes, NW Argentina

To elucidate factors controlling the geometry of, and kinematics associated with, prominent upper‐crustal structures in the Eastern Cordillera of NW Argentina, structural analyses of key areas were complemented by fault slip analysis, remote sensing and 3D representation of prominent faults. The analyses revealed that deformation during Tertiary to Quaternary times was accomplished mostly by prominent orogen‐parallel reverse faults, the …
