| Popis: | The objective of this article is to characterize the main directions of structures of the Parana Basin, to define the relation of deep structures (magnetic lineaments) with superficial structures [lineaments obtained over Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) images] and analyse reactivated structures in the Phanerozoic. The magnetic lineaments at the Eastern edge of the Parana Basin, in the central-southern region of the Santa Catarina State, show a main orientation pattern NE-SW and secondarily NNE-SSW. The NE-SW pattern reflects a framework of the ductile structures of the Santa Catarina Shield that continues in the substratum of the basin. The structural NNE pattern appears in the south of the Major Gercino Shear Zone (MGSZ) and the NE pattern appears in the north of this structure. The data obtained shows that the structural NE-SW pattern of the basin, present in the MGSZ and Itajai-Perimbo Shear Zone as well as in the Tijucas Terrain (Brusque Metamorphic Complex) in Santa Catarina, clearly extends underneath the Gondwanic sequence of the Parana Basin in the region. Among the products obtained by geophysical data processing in this work, what propitiated the best definition and distinction of the magnetic structures was the tilt angle of the total horizontal gradient (TAHG) method. However, the great flight line spacing of one of the geophysical projects (7 km) makes the identification of small magnetic structures difficult, particularly in N-S and E-W directions. Such structural directions are referred to in the previous works and were confirmed through the interpretation of SRTM images and studies of brittle structures in the field. |
