- W1999465597 abstract "The Bolivian Altiplano, in the Central Andes of South America, is part of the second largest high plateau on Earth. It is an elongate region of subdued relief, ∼1.2 × 105 km2 and ∼4 km above sea level, bounded by the Eastern Cordillera and volcanic arc (Western Cordillera). Here the crust is up to ∼75 km thick. We describe the Cenozoic geological evolution of this region, using a revised chronostratigraphy and an analysis of the crustal and lithospheric structure. Crustal shortening and magmatic addition and, locally, sedimentation are the main mechanisms of Cenozoic crustal thickening, leading to nearly 4 km of surface uplift since the Paleocene. Addition of mafic melts appears to be a first-order mechanism of Cenozoic crustal growth, contributing ∼40% of the crustal thickening beneath the volcanic arc. Removal of the basal part of the lithosphere may have caused two episodes of widespread arc and behind-arc mafic volcanism, at ∼23 Ma and 0 – ∼5 Ma, contributing to the surface uplift. The Altiplano originated as a sedimentary basin, several hundred kilometers wide, between the proto-Western Cordillera and a narrow zone of uplift (proto-Eastern Cordillera) farther east. The latter zone formed by inversion of the center of a wide lacustrine or marine Cretaceous - Paleocene basin close to sea-level at ∼45 Ma. A thickness of 2–4 km of Paleogene continental elastics accumulated in the proto-Altiplano basin. Subsequently, in the Oligocene, we estimate that this region and the western margin of the Eastern Cordillera were technically shortened ∼22% (∼65 km), resulting in ∼9 km of average crustal thickening. The Altiplano basin was rejuvenated at ∼25 Ma and subsequently flooded with up to 8 km thickness of detritus eroded from the uplifting Eastern and Western Cordilleras. Between ∼25 and 5 Ma, folding and thrusting in the western margin of the Eastern Cordillera migrated westward into the center of the Altiplano basin, essentially terminating deposition, except in local subbasins, and accommodating ∼13% (∼30 km) of shortening and an estimated ∼7 km of average crustal thickening. Subsequently, there has been strike-slip deformation and limited local thrusting (< 5 km of shortening). Geomorphological and geochronological evidence for 1.5–2 km of surface uplift of this region since the Late Miocene suggests ∼14 km of lower crustal thickening beneath an essentially rigid “lid”, and can be explained by ∼100–150 km of underthrusting of the Brazilian shield and adjacent regions beneath the eastern margin of the Central Andes. The present subdued relief in the Altiplano may be a result of ductile flow in the lower crust and sedimentation and erosion in an internal drainage basin." @default.
