A miogeocline is an area of sedimentation which occurs along the passive margin of a continent. The deposits occur as typically shallow water clastic sediments which thicken seaward to form a clastic wedge parallel to a tectonically quiescent coast. Modern examples include the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast of North and South America.

  • Una miogeoclina es un área de sedimentación que ocurre a lo largo del margen pasivo de un continente. Los depósitos se producen como sedimentos clásticos de aguas someras que se van haciendo más espesos hacia el mar para formar una cuña clástica paralela a una costa tectónicamente inactiva. Algunos ejemplos modernos de miogeoclina incluyen la plataforma continental del norte del Golfo de México (Miogeoclinal del golfo de México) y la costa atlántica de América del Norte y del Sur. (es)

  • Una miogeoclina es un área de sedimentación que ocurre a lo largo del margen pasivo de un continente. Los depósitos se producen como sedimentos clásticos de aguas someras que se van haciendo más espesos hacia el mar para formar una cuña clástica paralela a una costa tectónicamente inactiva. Algunos ejemplos modernos de miogeoclina incluyen la plataforma continental del norte del Golfo de México (Miogeoclinal del golfo de México) y la costa atlántica de América del Norte y del Sur. El término fue acuñado en 1966 por Dietz y Holden a partir del concepto de "miogeosyncline" , que provenía de la teoría geosinclinal, actualmente obsoleta. Dietz y Holden modificaron el término a "miogeoclina" ya que los depósitos sedimentarios descritos no se correspondían a la forma sinclinal.​ Algunos ejemplos de miogeoclinas antiguas son la miogeoclina neoproterozoica a cordillerano-cambriana del sudoeste de los Estados Unidos, la miogeoclina del Paleozoico Apalachiano, el supergrupo del cinturón precámbrico de Montana e Idaho y los sedimentos huronianos de Canadá, los cuales estuvieron implicados en la .​​ Las miogeoclinas devonianas misisípicas cordilleranas del norte de Yukón y de los Territorios del Noroeste de Canadá representan una área de búsqueda actual en geología ártica.​ Los antiguos sedimentos miogeoclinales se unen o acrecen en el continente adyacente después de colisiones u orogenias continentales tardías. Así, los sedimentos de la miogeoclina de los Apalaches pasaron a formar parte de los Apalaches propiamente dichos durante la orogenia apalache. (es)
  • A miogeocline is an area of sedimentation which occurs along the passive margin of a continent. The deposits occur as typically shallow water clastic sediments which thicken seaward to form a clastic wedge parallel to a tectonically quiescent coast. Modern examples include the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast of North and South America. The term was coined in 1966 by Dietz and from the miogeosyncline concept of the outdated geosynclinal theory. Dietz and Holden modified the term to miogeocline as the sedimentary deposits described were not synclinal in form. Ancient miogeoclines such as the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian miogeocline of the southwestern U. S., the Paleozoic Appalachian miogeocline, the Precambrian Belt Supergroup of Montana and Idaho and the Huronian sediments of Canada which were involved in the Grenville Orogeny. The Devonian to Mississippian northern Cordilleran miogeocline of northern Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada represents an area of current research in Arctic geology. The ancient miogeoclinal sediments become attached to or accreted onto the adjacent continent following later continental collisions or orogenies. Thus the sediments of the Appalachian miogeocline became part of the Appalachian Mountains during the Appalachian orogeny. (en)
