Morphometric Analysis to Assess Sea Level History and Uplift Rate in the Pleistocene Marine Terraces of Chabahar
Abstract Marine terraces have long been used as baseline geodetic markers of relative past sea levels, reflecting the interaction between vertical crustal movements and sea level oscillations. The terraces age and elevation of shoreline angles can be used to determine uplift rate. Disparate uplift rates in pervious investigation in the study area are related to manual measurements based on ...
متن کاملMonitoring Marin Terraces Elevation Movement Rate in The Makran Coasts of Iran (Konarak to Kalat)
Introduction The Coastal terrace is a unique tectonic complication in Iran and covers more than half of the Oman Sea coast from Jask to Quatre. These beaches are constantly rising and this has greatly influenced the morphology of the formation and deformation of Makran coasts marine terrace, which can be seen in the formation of coastal cliffs in these areas. But one of the important quest...
متن کاملNew records of sea anemones (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) from Costa Rica Nuevos registros de anémonas de mar (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) de Costa Rica
Despite being important components in coastal marine systems, sea anemones have been poorly studied on both coasts of Costa Rica. In this paper new records of sea anemones are mentioned for the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Costa Rica and the Isla del Coco National Park. Additionally, the presence of other species previously recorded in Costa Rica based on single observations or photos, is re...
متن کاملGeodetic and seismic constraints on some seismogenic zone processes in Costa Rica
[1] New seismic and geodetic data from Costa Rica provide insight into seismogenic zone processes in Central America, where the Cocos and Caribbean plates converge. Seismic data are from combined land and ocean bottom deployments in the Nicoya peninsula in northern Costa Rica and near the Osa peninsula in southern Costa Rica. In Nicoya, inversion of GPS data suggests two locked patches centered...
متن کاملSeismic cycle and plate margin deformation in Costa Rica : GPS observations 1994 - 1997
GPS observations in Costa Rica from 1994-1997 reveal a complex pattern of motion consistent with the superposition of seismic cycle and secular plate margin deformation. In the south, velocity vectors are consistent with motion of the Panama Block plus postseismic deformation following the 1991 Limon earthquake, and interseismic strain due to partial locking of the Middle America Trench (MAT) t...
