Geological Heritage of Syros Island, Cyclades Complex, Greece: An Assessment and Geotourism Perspectives

Whole-rock Geochemistry and Metamorphism of Blueschist/eclogite-facies Mafic Rocks on Syros, Cyclades, Greece

The island of Syros consists largely of possibly-repeated sequences of glaucophane-bearing calcareous schists, mafic schists, dolomite marbles, and calcite marbles containing abundant aragonite pseudomorphs (Dixon, 1969; Hecht, 1984). Several discrete, fault-bounded packages of blueschist/eclogite-facies mafic rocks with minor serpentinite are also found on the island. Although the mafic rocks ...

evaluation potentials of sabalan volcano southeast slopes geological heritage by geotourism perspective

volcanic landform can be as terrain legacies from the past to the present era be considered. these heritage of land in terms of their unique characteristics can be considered as geomorphosite in the scientific community and the public. the evaluation of resources is one of the most important tasks of geotourism research.and thereby become profitable and thriving tourism industry in their own di...

The lateral boundary of a metamorphic core complex: The Moutsounas shear zone on Naxos, Cyclades, Greece☆

We describe the structure, microstructures, texture and paleopiezometry of quartz-rich phyllites and marbles along N-trending Moutsounas shear zone at the eastern margin of the Naxos metamorphic core complex (MCC). Fabrics consistently indicate a top-to-the-NNE non-coaxial shear and formed during the main stage of updoming and exhumation between ca. 14 and 11 Ma of the Naxos MCC. The main stage...

lexical decomposition awareness and its effect on delayed receptive and productive recognition and recall of vocabulary knowledge of morphologically complex english words: an iranian efl context

abstract lexical knowledge of complex english words is an important part of language skills and crucial for fluent language use (nation, 2001). the present study, thus, was an attempt to assess the role of morphological decomposition awareness as a vocabulary learning strategy on learners’ productive and receptive recall and recognition of complex english words. so 90 sophomores (female and ma...
