The Southern Central Andes vertical axis tectonic rotations: Relations with the deformation pattern
Along the Central Andes a pattern of vertical axis tectonic rotations has been paleomagnetically identified. Such rotations are counterclockwise north of Arica Deflection (~19°S) and clockwise to the south. Different hypothesis and models have been proposed to explain the Central Andean Rotation Pat...
