Tectonics tectonic evolution

Numerous studies on the geologic and tectonic evolution in and around the Japanese Islands from Miocene to present have been carried out (e.g., Kitamura, 1959 ... 

However, in contrast to these geologic and tectonic studies, very few studies on the relationship between tectonics and hydrothermal system in Neogene age have been carried out. Therefore, these studies are briefly summarized and then the relationship between geologic and tectonic evolution and evolution of hydrothermal system associated with the mineralizations (Kuroko deposits, epithermal veins) are considered below.

These methods have been used effectively to explore the tectonic and paleo-climate for regions in western North America, the Andes of South America, and the Tibetan plateau. The results provide additional evidence that must be included in debates about the paleobotany, paleoclimate, and tectonic evolution of these regions. The range of these results provides additional support for the need for such evidence in interpreting Earth s history and the need for continuing research in this area.

The above considerations show that the strontium isotopic composition of seawater is controlled essentially by tectonic evolution, that is, by relative contributions from weathering processes on continents and from the intensity of submarine hydrothermal systems. Over geological time, however, the isotopic compositions of these two fluxes have evolved, because Sr is a decay product of Rb ...
