Stable isotopes of bioapatites can be used to investigate tectonics via a paleoclimate link. One direct climate-tectonics link is the generation of rain shadows by mountain ranges (Kohn et al. 2003). Mountain ranges in western North America profoundly affect isotope compositions of meteoric water. The N-S trending Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and... [Pg.475]

This chapter examines climatic and tectonic controls on erosion in the tropics and the implications of these observations regarding the composition of erosion products in general. The role of glaciations in continental denudation will then be examined and contrasted with tropical conditions. Finally, we will briefly examine human effects. [Pg.196]

On a larger scale, landscape development reflects those mechanisms that expose bedrock, weather it, and transport the weathering products away. Present and past tectonism, geology, climate, soils, and vegetation are all important to landscape evolution. These factors often operate in tandem to produce characteristic landforms that presumably integrate the effects of both episodic and continuous processes over considerable periods of time. [Pg.206]

Fig. 4.14. Tracing climate change in the Miocene. Shown here are records of ice volume and temperature (based on foraminiferal S 0) and relative organic carbon burial (based on foraminiferal S C), compared with the CO2 estimates of Pagani et al. (1999), and tectonic events that may have affected ocean heat transport. Trends in CO2 are consistent with organic carbon burial and CO2 drawdown during the Monterey Excursion, but cannot explain the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO) or expansion of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS).

Shallow-water embayments provide a mechanism to isolate seawater so that evaporation can raise salt ion concentrations. Arid climates are required to ensure that the rate of water loss from evaporation exceeds the rate of water supply by rainfell, groundwater seeps, or river runoff. Seawater can be resupplied continuously via a type of antiestuar-ine circulation as illustrated in Figure 17.2 or episodically as a result of sea level change, plate tectonics, or very high tides and storm surges. [Pg.426]

The global distribution of continental shelves, including their widths, has fluctuated over geologic time in response to (1) tectonism that changes the shape and elevation of the crustal plates, (2) isostatic readjustments in the elevation of land masses, and (3) climate shifts that alter the volume of the ocean. Changes in the extent and width of the shelves have affected the magnitude of various sedimentary sinks over time, with significant impacts on ocean chemistry. This topic is discussed further in Chapter 21. [Pg.516]
