We examine the tectonic geomorphology of La Sila, Calabria, southern Italy, a high-standing (1500 m) plateau surrounded by crustal extension, with map, DEM, and field data. These data are used to constrain a simple geodynamic model that describes short-wavelength deformation of the plateau rim. Topographic metrics including drainage patterns, river longitudinal profiles, and swath profiles are ...

We suggest a method of fitting of a zero-range model of a tectonic plate under a boundary stress on the basis of comparison of the theoretical formulae for the corresponding eigenfunctions/eigenvalues with the results extraction under monitoring, in the remote zone, of non-random (regular) oscillations of the Earth with periods 0.2-6 hours, on the background seismic process, in case of low seis...

[1] Large, clockwise, vertical axis tectonic rotations of the Hikurangi margin, East Coast, New Zealand, have been inferred over both geological and contemporary timescales, from paleomagnetic and geodetic data, respectively. Previous interpretations of paleomagnetic data have laterally divided the margin into independently rotating domains; this is not a feature of the short-term velocity fiel...

The research area is Bualemo Village, Kwandang District, North Gorontalo Regency. With coordinates 0˚ 47' 10" - 48' 40" Latitude and 122˚ 55' 0" 57' 5" East Longitude with an of about 10 km2. This study aims to determine the petrogenesis andesite rocks tectonic setting in area. method used this a mapping geological conditions site X-ray fluorescence (XRF) geochemical analysis chemical content r...

Stratigraphic inverse modeling using the SEDPAK stratigraphic simulator established the size of the physical parameters that together controlled the development of the stratal patterns in the late Tertiary Ulleung Basin, East (Japan) Sea. The modeling results provided a quantitative geohistory of the basin. This included the dimension of variations in rates of tectonic subsidence (or uplift) an...

This article shows the tectonic influence of Parnaíba River Lineament located in Basin through a paleontological finding Cretaceous age close to Permian sequence. The studied region is northeast State Maranhão, near town Duque Bacelar, vicinity lineament. A normal fault NNE-SSW direction was responsible for lowering Itapecuru Formation strata (Cretaceous) and relative upward movement Pedra de F...

A landslide inventory was created for an area of 22.6 km2 near Petrinja city in northern Croatia, based on the high-resolution LiDAR data complemented by orthophoto maps. total 216 landslides were identified, covering 2.91 % that area. Landslide polygons overlain geological units Basic map SFRY at a scale 1:100,000 is largest available whole Croatia. The relationship between and expressed as in...

Since tectonic and stereotomic theories have neither been used systematically nor dealt with simultaneously for the interpretation of architecture, by explaining the theoretical position of critics and their thoughts, the process of their interaction will be more effective. The main questions asked is it possible to interpret architecture through the interaction of tectonic and stereotomical th...

abstract tectonic, plays a key role in the evolution of morphology and can be distinguished with morphotectonic, rivers and structural parameters. an analysis of morphometric parameters illustrates that the development of them is associated with faults activities and rocks resistance. morphotectonic analysis also supplies seismotectonic setting for a region. for appropriate and survey tectonic ...

We have compiled the distribution of active faults and folds in the HimalayanTibetan orogen and its immediate surrounding regions into a web-based digital map. The main product of this study is a compilation of active structures that came from those documented in the literature and from our own interpretations based on satellite images and digital topographic data. Our digital tectonic map allo...
