Structural setting

NS-oriented arc parallel structures

NW-oriented structures

Cambrian NNW-oriented transpression

Sinistral strike-slip on NS arc parallel structures

Left-lateral steps on NW-oriented structures

creates a series of pull-apart basins

Makes space for porphyry intrusions and

provides a preferred NW orientation for dilatant

growth structures
