Abstract Vulcano is one of the seven volcanic islands composing Aeolian Islands archipelago (Southern Italy), which also includes three other active volcanoes. The island was originally a stratovolcano like Stromboli; afterwards, its shape turned towards complex structure composed several landforms different sizes. This due to great variability tectonic and phenomena, presently showing volcano ...

The mineralogy and geochemistry of Paleocene shales and interbedded siltstones in the southwestern of Ahar town (NW Iran) were studied by optical microscopy, XRD, SEM, XRF, and ICP-MS techniques. The mineralogical composition, mainly characterized by calcite, quartz, feldspar, dolomite, muscovite, magnesiohornblende, chlorite, illite, montmorionite, palygorskite, and koninckite, suggests relati...

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...

The island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), is showing possible signs of reawakening after its last basaltic strombolian eruption, dated 1909 at Chinyero. The main concern relates to the central active volcanic complex Teide – Pico Viejo, which poses serious hazards to the properties and population of the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and which has erupted several times during...

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...
