Abstract
Paleomagnetism is a quantitative tool for determining relative displacements and rotations of rock bodies in the geological past. During the last 20 years, paleomagnetic work in continental cratons has contributed greatly to our understanding of continental drift, but more recently, paleomagnetism has begun to be used on a more local scale, to elucidate tectonic problems in mountain belts. We have selected several geographical areas which illustrate an approach to paleomagnetism in mountain belts.This publication has 151 references indexed in Scilit:
