3. Tectonic map and overall architecture of the Alpine orogen by STEFAN M. SCHMID1, BERNHARD FÜGENSCHUH1, EDUARD KISSLING2 & RALF SCHUSTER3
A macro-scale structure report of convergent Oregon ( Alps ) in the report using the articles you should include :
1) Tectonic plate setting, including plate movement and inferred state of stress.
2) a description of regional structure and relevant characteristic of these structure ( example: sense of shear on faults )
3) a general description of the rock unit and their spatial relationship to any structure
4) a description of how the region may have changed overtime ( at the regional scale ) be specific in changes to plate setting , state of stress , type of structure , and location of structure"
