The method of breakpoint-match-tracing is a new numerical simulation one to reconstruct the fault deformation process in three-dimensional space. This method, however, based on the spatial data relationship of three dimensional geological bodies, will reconstruct their original relationship result from using match path to trace the breakpoint and computation. Through picking up the breakpoint i...

study of tectonic affects in many fluvial systems shows that, rivers are valuable tools to active tectonics surveying. study of stream channels and their associated deposits offset by faulting may reveal the amount displacement at particular site and give information that is critical for future earthquake hazards evaluation. study area which is a subbasin of atrak river is located at the ne ira...

[1] The tectonic evolution of Mars has been driven primarily by the interaction of Tharsisinduced loading stresses with a uniform contractional stress field, leading to global assemblages of graben and wrinkle ridges. Until recently, strike-slip faults have appeared to be largely absent from the tectonic record. We here present evidence for a new set of Noachian to Early Hesperian strike-slip f...

The Mediterranean climate prevailing on the coastal belt of the Mediterranean Sea undergoes to change toward the inner part of the Anatolia in accordance with the increase of altitude, mountain range barriers, the tectonic structure of the region, and tectonic-karstic depressions. Continentality also plays a critical role in the micro-climates that prevail across the various eco-regions. This s...

The Porcupine Basin is a large underexplored sedimentary basin located offshore west of Ireland within the structurally complex European North Atlantic Margin. has evolved through multiple Jurassic–Recent phases deformation and although overall plate tectonic context margin well-documented, there are still uncertainties regarding activity, their associated strain distribution fault kinematics. ...

GSA Today: v. 16, no. 2, doi: 10.1130/1052-5173(2006)016<4:TIAACM>2.0.CO;2 INTRODUCTION Forty years ago, the eastern margin of North America inspired Tuzo Wilson (1966) to ask, “Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?” The Wilson cycle of closing and opening of ocean basins incorporates the cyclic assembly and breakup of supercontinents. Alternate processes of extension and compression of cont...

[1] The decision boundaries of most tectonic discrimination diagrams are drawn by eye. Discriminant analysis is a statistically more rigorous way to determine the tectonic affinity of oceanic basalts based on their bulk-rock chemistry. This method was applied to a database of 756 oceanic basalts of known tectonic affinity (ocean island, mid-ocean ridge, or island arc). For each of these trainin...

The systematic relationships among avian families within Crown Corvida have been poorly studied so far and as such been of limited use for biogeographic interpretations. The group has its origin in Australia and is thought to have colonized Africa and the New World via Asia beginning some 35 Mya when terranes of Australian origin approached Asian landmasses. Recent detailed tectonic mapping of ...

Výpočet možnosti vzniku průtrže v dlouhých důlních dílech The article brings results of the evaluation of a possibility of coal and gas outburst origin on the basis of calculation of active forces that try to induce an outburst and passive forces that prevent an outburst from occurring. The analysis of outbursts from the Paskov Mine, Staříč plant, shows that decisive indicators, by which a pron...

The. ce.c.c•ncl largest volcanic province on Mar• lies in the E!?ium region I•ike the larger Tharsis province, Elysium is marked by a topographic rise and a broad free air gravity anomaly and also exhibits a complex assortment of tectonic and volcanic features. We test the hypothesis that the tectonic features in the Elysium region are the product of stresses produced by loading of the Martian ...
