Great challenges in structural geology and tectonics
Successful scientific theories provide theoretical understanding for reliable deterministic or probabilistic forecasting of events. In the past decades the volume of data obtained within the fields of structural geology and tectonics has increased enormously, but the theoretical understanding of the processes that generate these data has not advanced at the same rate. For example, after decades...
متن کاملGeomorphic and structural assessment of active tectonics in NW Alborz
Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...

Children undoubtedly represent the future of the world As medical practitioners involved in Pediatrics we all have the responsibility of taking care of children. It is our responsibility to protect them from a variety of dangers, including, but not limited to, interruptions during pregnancy, genetic anomalies, perinatal injuries, congenital defects, malnutrition, environmental diseases, infecti...
متن کاملPlate tectonics and planetary habitability: current status and future challenges.
Plate tectonics is one of the major factors affecting the potential habitability of a terrestrial planet. The physics of plate tectonics is, however, still far from being complete, leading to considerable uncertainty when discussing planetary habitability. Here, I summarize recent developments on the evolution of plate tectonics on Earth, which suggest a radically new view on Earth dynamics: co...
متن کاملA New Synthesis on the Geology of Middle-earth: Genesis, Orogeny and Tectonics
In this paper, we discuss and critique existing hypotheses about the geology of Middle-earth in light of current geological theories of planetary formation, mountain building (orogeny) and plate tectonics. We dispute the prevailing tectonic explanation for the major geological features of Middle-earth and Arda on the basis of evidence as yet not fully considered about the formation of the plane...
