This project has been aimed at testing the hypothesis that                 the Laramide orogeny and the formation of the Rocky Mountains was               due to horizontal subduction of oceanic crust under the western                 United States.  Development and testing of a finite-element code                for continental deformation has been completed.  This renewal will make         technical improvements to the efficiency, thermal boundary                      conditions, and plate-tectonics inputs to the model, find steady-               state models of the Cretaceous Sevier Orogeny, conduct unified                  models for the Cretaceous-Tertiary history of North America and                 compare the results to geologic and geophysical data, and to apply              the same program to test for similar tectonics in other areas of                the world.
