Abstract
Some Suggestions on the Structural Development of the Rocky Mountains of Canada
ABSTRACT
Three distinct types of deformation: thrusting and folding, wrench-faulting and normal faulting, were involved in the building of the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Thrusting and folding throughout the Canadian Rockies, together with wrench-faulting in the western ranges, may have resulted from a southwesterly movement of the underlying Precambrian basement with respect to rocks of the Western Cordillera. A period of minor normal faulting may have been related to later epeirogenic uplift.
