La géologie de l'Equateur se distingue de celle du reste des Cordillères andines par la présence de terrains océaniques qui s'accrètent successivement à la marge depuis la fin du Crétacé jusqu'au Paléocène. Ces terrains exotiques sont constitués de fragments de deux plateaux océaniques du Crétacé inférieur (123 Ma) et supérieur (90 Ma) et de plusieurs arcs insulaires (100 à 40 Ma). Dans la Cordillère occidentale, le plateau crétacé inférieur et les terrains océaniques du crétacé supérieur (plateau et arcs insulaires) s'accrètent respectivement à 85-80 Ma et 70-65 Ma. Le plateau océanique daté à 123 Ma est constitué: (i) de cumulats basiques et ultrabasiques (série de San Juan) et (ii) de basaltes en coussins et de dolérites massives recoupés par des petites intrusions de gabbro sub-doléritique. Les cumulats forment une série continue depuis des dunites et wehrlites jusqu'à des gabbros à clinopyroxène. Basaltes, dolérites et gabbros présentent tous les caractères de basalte de plateau océanique (OPB; MgO = 7%; spectres de terres rares plats, pas d'anomalie négative en Nb et Ta). Les compositions isotopiques (Nd et Pb) des cumulats et de l'ensemble basalte-dolérite sont identiques et démontrent que toutes ces roches dérivent d' une source mantellique enrichie. Les picrites et les basaltes enrichis ou non en MgO, associés à des dolérites et des gabbros, représentent des témoins accrétés du plateau océanique crétacé supérieur caraïbe. Les picrites (MgO -20 %) sont appauvries en terres rares légères, peu radiogéniques en Pb et caractérisées par des eNd élevés (+8 à +10). Les basaltes riches en MgO (9-10%) sont enrichis en terres rares légères. La géochimie en éléments traces des basaltes pauvres en MgO est identique à celle d'OPB. Par contre, les rapports isotopiques du Pb des basaltes, riches en MgO ou non, sont très élevés indiquant que toutes ces laves dérivent d'une source enrichie de type HIMU, caractère commun à tous les basaltes du plateau caraïbe .

Dans ce travail de thèse, nous analysons la structure crustale de la marge est-algérienne et du bassin adjacent (région d’Annaba), à partir d’un ensemble de nouvelles données acquises durant la Campagne SPIRAL’2009 incluant un profil sismique terre-mer de ~240 km de long, des lignes sismiques réflexion pénétrante 360-traces, et des profils gravimétriques et magnétiques. Nous avons par ailleurs disposé pour cette étude de données complémentaires incluant notamment un ensemble de profils de sismique réflexion offrant des résolutions complémentaires. La structure crustale ainsi établie nous permet de discuter les nombreux modèles cinématiques d’ouverture du bassin est-algérien proposés dans la littérature, afin de caler dans le temps la formation du bassin par rapport à la collision. Elle permet également de discuter la localisation de la déformation liée à la réactivation de la marge, par rapport aux grands domaines lithosphériques du système marge-bassin, afin de mieux comprendre les modalités de l’inversion. Dans le bassin profond, la modélisation directe des temps d’arrivée et des amplitudes des ondes réfractées et réfléchies met en évidence une croûte océanique anormalement mince de 5-5.5 km d’épaisseur, composée de deux couches. La première, de 2.2 km d’épaisseur, montre des vitesses comprises entre 4.8 à 6.0 km/s impliquant un fort gradient; la seconde de 3.3 km d’épaisseur, présente des vitesses comprises entre 6.0 à 7.1 km/s et un plus faible gradient de vitesse. La modélisation des temps d’arrivées des ondes S fourni pour cette couche un coefficient de Poisson de 0.28, indiquant qu’elle est majoritairement constituée de gabbros. / In this study, we determine the deep structure of the eastern Algerian basin and its southern margin in the Annaba region (easternmost Algeria), to better constrain the plate kinematic reconstruction in this region. This study is based on new geophysical data collected during the SPIRAL cruise in 2009 that included a wide-angle, 240-km-long, onshore-offshore seismic profile, multichannel seismic reflection lines, and gravity and magnetic data, which was complemented by the available geophysical data for the study area. The analysis and modeling of the wide-angle seismic data using travel-times and amplitudes, and integrated with the multichannel seismic lines, reveal the detailed structure of an ocean-to-continent transition. In the deep basin, there is an ~5.5-km-thick oceanic crust that is composed of two layers. The upper layer of the crust is defined by a high velocity gradient and P-wave velocities between 4.8 km/s and 6.0 km/s from the top to the bottom. The lower crust is defined by a lower velocity gradient and P-wave velocity between 6.0 km/s and 7.1 km/s. The Poisson ratio in the lower crust deduced from S-wave modeling is 0.28, which indicates that the lower crust is composed mainly of gabbros. Below the continental edge, a typical continental crust with P-wave velocities between 5.2 km/s and 7.0 km/s from the top to the bottom shows a gradual seaward thinning of ~15 km over an ~35-km distance.

(TAP) terranes, in the Transversal Zone Domain (Borborema Province, NE Brazil), with the main objective of understanding the geodynamic evolution and the structural framework of these units. To reach this objective, and besides field work and interpretation of traditional aerial photographs, other tools were employed like of remote sensing products (Landsat 7 ETM+, aeroradiometrics, aeromagnetics and topographical images), lithogeochemical (whole rock) analyses and geochronological dating (U-Pb in zircon), besides integration with literature data. In the area, several precambrian geological units outcrop, represented in the TAP by the paleoproterozoic Serra Talhada and Afogados da Ingazeira complexes, Riacho Gravat? Complex (metavolcano-sedimentary sequence of Stenian-Tonian age) and Cariris Velhos orthogneisses (of Tonian age). The TPAB comprises the Santana do Garrote (lower unit) and Serra do Olho d'?gua (upper unit) formations of the Cachoeirinha Group (Neoproterozoic III), besides the Pianc? orthogneisses and Bom Jesus paragneisses; the latter correspond to an older (basement ?) block and a possible high grade equivalent of the Cachoeirinha Group (or Serid? Group ?), respectively. Several Brasiliano-age plutons occur in both terranes.The aeromagnetic data show the continuity, at depth, of the main shear zones mapped in the region. The Patos, Pernambuco, Boqueir?o dos Cochos, Serra do Caboclo, Afogados da Ingazeira/Jabitac? and Congo-Cruzeiro do Nordeste shear zones reach depths greater than to 6-16 km. The aeromagnetic signature of other shear zones, like the Juru one, suggests that these structures correspond to shallower crustal features. The satellite images (Landsat 7 ETM+) and aerogamaspectrometric images discriminate different geological units, contributing to the mapping of the structural framework of the region. The Serra do Caboclo Shear Zone was characterized as the boundary/suture between the TPAB and TAP. This structure is an outstanding, pervasive feature that separates contrasting geological units, such as the Neoproterozoic III Cachoeirinha Group in the TPAB and the Riacho Gravat? Complex and the Cariris Velhos metaplutonics, of Stenian-Tonian age, in the TAP. Occupying different blocks, these units are not found in authoctonous relations, like unconformities and intrusive contacts. Concerning the Cariris Velhos (ca. 1,0 Ga old) event is recorded by radiometric ages of the Riacho Gravat? Complex metavolcanics and intrusive augen and orthogneisses, all of them displaying geochemical affinities of arc or collisional settings. A structural signature of this event was not recorded in the region, possibly due to its low grade/low strain style, obliterated by the overprinting of younger, higher grade/high strain Brasiliano-age fabrics.The first tectonic event (D1) observed in the Cariris Velhos lithotypes presents contractional kinematics with transport to the NW. Neoproterozoic III geochronologic dates, obtained in late-D1 granitoids, imply a Brasiliano age (ca. 610-600 Ma) for this deformation event. The second tectonic event (D2) characterized in the region corresponds to the Brasiliano transcurrent kinematics of the outstanding shear zones and associated granitoid plutons. The geochronological (U-Pb in zircon) data obtained during this thesis also confirms the occurrence of the Cariris Velhos magmatic suite in the TAP, as well as the Neoproterozoic III age to the Cachoeirinha Group in the TPAB. The TAP (Riacho Gravat? Complex, augen and orthogneisses) is interpreted as a continental arc possibly accreted to a microcontinent during the Cariris Velhos (Stenian-Tonian) event. Later on, this terrane collided with the TPAB at the beginning of the Brasiliano orogeny (D1 contractional deformation), and both domins were reworked by the transcurrent shear deformation of the D2 event / A presente tese procurou avan?ar no conhecimento geol?gico da regi?o que abrange os terrenos Pianc?-Alto Br?gida (TPAB) e Alto paje? (TAP) , no Dom?nio da Zona Transversal (Prov?ncia Borborema, NE do Brasil), com o intuito principal de compreender a evolu??o geodin?mica e o condicionamento estrutural destas unidades. Para atingir este objetivo, al?m do trabalho de campo e da interpreta??o de fotografias a?reas tradicionais, foram utilizados outros produtos de sensoriamento remoto (imagens Landsat 7 ETM+, aeroradiom?tricas, aeromagn?ticas e topogr?ficas), an?lises litogeoqu?micas (rocha total) e data??es geocronol?gicas (U-Pb em zirc?o), al?m da integra??o com dados da literatura. Na regi?o afloram v?rias unidades geol?gicas precambrianas, representadas no T AP pelos complexos paleoproteroz?icos de Serra Talhada e Afogados da Ingazeira, Complexo Riacho Gravat? (seq??ncia metavulcanossedimentar de idade Esteniana-Toniana) e ortognaisses Cariris Velhos (Tonianos). No TPAB ocorrem as forma??es Santana do Garrote (unidade inferior) e Serra do Olho d'?gua (unidade superior) do Grupo Cachoeirinha (Neoproteroz?ico III), al?m dos ortognaisses de Pianc? e paragnaisses de Bom Jesus, estes dois ?ltimos podendo constituir um bloco mais antigo (embasamento ?) e um equivalente de alto grau do Grupo Cachoeirinha (ou Grupo Serid? ?), respectivamente. Em ambos os terrenos ainda ocorrem v?rios corpos degranit?ides brasilianos. Os dados aeromagn?ticos permitiram estimar a continuidade, em profundidade, das principais zonas de cisalhamento cartografadas na regi?o. As zonas de cisalhamento de Patos, Pernambuco, Boqueir?o dos Cochos, Serra do Caboclo, Afogados da Ingazeira/Jabitac? e Congo-Cruzeiro do Nordeste atingem profundidades . superiores a 6-16 km. A assinatura aeromagn?tica de outras zonas de cisalhamento, tais como a de Juru, sugere que tais estruturas correspondem a fei??es crustais mais rasas. As imagens de sat?lite (Landsat 7 ETM+) e aerogamaespectrom?tricas permitiram individualizar unidades geol?gicas distintas, bem como esbo?ar a trama estrutural da regi?o.A Zona de Cisalhamento Serra do Caboclo foi caracterizada como o limite/sutura entre o TPAB e TAP, tendo em vista ser uma estrutura marcante/penetrativa que separa unidades geol?gicas contrastantes, como o Grupo Cachoeirinha (Neoproteroz?ico III) no TPAB e o Complexo Riacho Gravat? (Esteniano-Toniano) e as metaplut?nicas Cariris Velhos, do TAP. Embora mais jovem, o Grupo Cachoeirinha n?o exibe contatos em n?o conformidade sobre o Complexo Riacho Gravat? ou ortognaisses Cariris Velhos, indicando que aquelas unidades estavam distanciadas quando da sua deposi??o. Com rela??o ao evento Cariris Velhos (ca. 1,0 Ga), a presen?a do mesmo ? indicada pelas metavulc?nicas do Complexo Riacho Gravat?, augen gnaisses e ortognaisses intrusivos, todos com afinidade geoqu?mica de contextos de arco ou colisional. Todavia, o registro estrutural associado a este evento n?o foi identificado, o que foi interpretado em fun??o de sua oblitera??o (constitu?am estruturas de baixo grau/baixo strain) pelos eventos subseq?entes. O primeiro evento tect?nico (01) observado nos litotipos de idade Cariris Velhos apresenta cinem?tica contracional com transporte para NW. Uma data??o do Neoproteroz?ico III, obtida em granit?ide tardi-D1, permite atribuir uma idade do in?cio do brasiliano para este eventodeformacional. O segundo evento (D2) caracterizado na regi?o corresponde ? tect?nica transcorrente Brasiliana, a qual ? materializada por marcantes zonas de cisalhamento e corpos gran?ticos associados. Os dados geocronol?gicos obtidos (U-Pb em zirc?o) confirmaram a presen?a do magmatismo Cariris Velhos no ?mbito do TAP, bem como a idade Neoproteroz?ica III para o Grupo Cachoeinha (TPAB) e para o evento tect?nico D1. O TAP (Complexo Riacho Gravat?, augen gnaisses e ortognaisses) deve constituir um arco continental (provavelmente acrescido a um microcontinente) formado durante o evento Cariris Velhos (Esteniano-Toniano). Este terreno colidiu com o TPAB no inicio da orog?nese brasiliana (deforma??o tangencial D1), sendo ambos os blocos afetados por retrabalhamento/cisalhamentos transcorrentes (evento D2) at? o final do Ciclo Brasiliano
