Intraplate Stresses: A New Element in Basin Analysis

  • Chapter
New Perspectives in Basin Analysis

Part of the book series: Frontiers in Sedimentary Geology ((SEDIMENTARY))

Abstract

Evidence reviewed in this paper indicates that intraplate stresses in the lithosphere are of substantial magnitude. Numerical modelling and observation of modern and paleo-stress fields demonstrate the existence of stress provinces of great areal extent in the interiors of the plates. The interaction of intraplate stresses with basin subsidence provides a new element in basin analysis. Fluctuations in intraplate stress fields influence basin stratigraphy and provide a tectonic explanation for short-term, relative sea-level variations inferred from the sedimentary record. Modelling shows that the incorporation of intraplate stresses in models of basin evolution can predict a succession of onlap and offlap patterns similar to those observed at basin flanks. Such a stratigraphy can be interpreted as the natural consequence of short-term changes in basin shape by moderate fluctuations in intraplate stresses, superimposed on long-term broadening of the basin with cooling since its formation. Basin stratigraphy could provide a new source of information for paleo-stress fields.
