Abstract
Apatite fission-track (AFT) and zircon fission-track (ZFT) data along with other low-temperature thermochronologic data are widely used in the fields of structural geology and tectonics to determine the timing/duration of events, the amount of exhumation in mountain belts, rates of slip on faults, and the geometries of fault networks. In this chapter, I review applications of AFT and ZFT data in extensional tectonic settings. Examples of data sets and interpretations are summarized from the Cenozoic-Recent North American Basin and Range Province. These data constrain displacements of normal faults, rates of slip on faults, paleogeothermal gradients, and the original dip of low-angle normal faults.
