Tectonic Setting of the Kenya Rift in the Nakuru Area, Based on Geophysical Prospecting

چکیده
In this paper, we present results of tectonic and geophysical investigations in the Kenya Rift valley, Nakuru area. We compiled a detailed geological map area based on published earlier works, well data satellite imagery. The was then integrated with original fieldwork cross sections were constructed. key areas, performed survey using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Hybrid Source Audio MagnetoTelluric (HSAMT), single station passive seismic measurements (HVSR). study area, volcano-sedimentary succession Neogene-Quaternary age characterized by basalts, trachytes, pyroclastic rocks, tephra intercalated lacustrine fluvial deposits crops out. Faulting linked rift development is evident occurs throughout crosscutting all rock units. show rotation extension portion NE–SW direction Neogene-Middle Pleistocene age, followed E–W an Upper Pleistocene-Present age. Geophysical allowed to outline main lithostratigraphic units features at depth also useful infer cataclasites fractured bodies, primary paths for water flow rocks. These are larger EU H2020 Programme aimed produce hydrogeological model develop sustainable management system.

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
