Nov 5, 2015 · At the Congress, Staub presented his “Gedanken zum Strukturbild Spaniens” (Thoughts on Spanish Tectonics), based on his analysis of the Geological Map of Spain edited by the Instituto Geológico de España in 1919—which he qualified as excellent– and probably on observations made during the field trips of the XIV IGC, or other trips ...

Aug 1, 2001 · Staub’s (1924) grandiose synthesis of the Alps was illustrated in a 1:1,000,000 tectonic map and cross-sections, emphasizing the unilateral vergence of the orogenic belt. In contrast, Kober (1923) believed in the symmetric bilateral structure of the Alps, coupled with crustal attenuation in the axial zone.

Nov 5, 2015 · The existence of an orogenic arc in the Variscan belt of Central Iberia is traced from its first recognition by the Swiss geologist, Rudolf Staub, at the XIV International Geological Congress...
The evolution of tectonophysics is closely linked to the history of the continental drift and plate tectonics hypotheses. The continental drift/ Airy-Heiskanen isostasy hypothesis had many flaws and scarce data. The fixist/ Pratt-Hayford isostasy, the contracting Earth and the expanding Earth concepts had many flaws as well.
Mar 19, 2018 · The following sections provide a historical approach with special emphasis on innovative ideas and scientific milestones for the development of the theory of continental drift superseded by the theory of plate tectonics, which finally led to the establishment of the modern phase of palaeogeography.
He produced high resolution maps including the first to indicate tectonic regions in the Swiss Alps and came up with ideas on mountain formation based on the idea that there were alternating tectonic forces, Polflucht and Poldrift as suggested by Alfred Wegener.

Oct 19, 2023 · Geologists studying the Earth use scientific observation and evidence to construct a picture of what the Earth looked like at different periods in the geologic past. Use this map gallery to better understand how plate tectonics created the ocean and continents we are familiar with today.
