south of mindanao double verge y subduction causes convergent/collision of two corresponding active volcanic arcs a present fay example of emplacement of ophiolites by slivers developed from the curvature of the fold axis of the oceanix playe late miocene start of collision western slab dives down to deths of more than 600km which is the deepest while the easyer subducts only about 200km
molucca sea plat
2 arcs of molucca tht are separated at least 100km
sangihe and halmahera molucca sea plate has thus an E-W dimentsion of at least 900km
when did the palawan mindoro geologic block rifted from asian mainland
late cretaceous-late eocene
where did PMV origignated
subequatorial regions tp its present position with the rotation and spreading sea plate during eocene to miocene
reresent the pre tertiary basement of ph
metamorphic and ophiolitic rocks
tensile fracturws at the end of shear fractures represented by one or a few tensile fractures at each end of the main fratcurw and are associated eith rapid decrease in displacmeent toward the top
wing crack
tensile fractures occur iny he tip zone assymetrically areabged woth respect to the main dracture and referred to as
horsetail fractures
secondary fractures in the tip zone represent a dan shaped splaying kf the main fratcurw
synthetic eith respect to hre main faily antithetic fractures occur jn the top zone kf fractures
splay faults
describes the vertical oncrease in critical shear stress through the frictional upper crust
byerlees law
formerly wssential to the refi ing of aluminum ores such as bauxite
cryolite (halide)
ionic bond
halides
apatite when formed in marine sed rock

stereogrpahic microscopes
possess a 3rd tube which a camera or computer monitor may be attached and through which photomicrographs and video imgaws may be captured
trinocular microscopes
distance between the objective and the sample on the stage
free working distance
difference between the refractive index of a substance and the refractive index of the mounting medium
relief
extinction angle of muscovite and bitote
<5 degrees
muscoite biotite carbonates calcite and dolomite
mottle or birdseye extinction cleavage
twins appear as spindeled shapwd crystals intergron at a high angle giving rise to what is called
gridiron or scothplaid twinning
MICROLINE has this
carlsbad twinning
occurs with albuge
Sanadine and orthoclase
spindle shaped
precline twin
