Abstract Crustal fault zones provide interesting geological targets for high-temperature geothermal energy source in naturally deep-fractured basement areas. Field and laboratory studies have shown the ability of these systems to let fluid flow down brittle–ductile transition. However, several key questions about exploration still exist, particular fundamental effect tectonic regimes on fractur...

This paper presents evidence on Mesozoic inversion of basin bounding faults within the Taleqan-Gajereh-Lar Paleograben (TGLP) in Central Alborz Range. For this purpose, well documented stratigraphy data across the TGLP together with the new acquired structural data on the geometry and kinematics of the paleograben basin bounding faults are utilized. The TGLP has evolved through the Early and Mi...

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 ...

In this paper are treated briefly the geotechnical analysis of hills slopes areas in the heritage town of Berati, Albania. From engineering geological mapping on scale 1:10 000 and geotechnical investigations carried out in urban area of Berati town was found that two zones are threated from landslides phenomenon. The first one is located in center part, whereas the second in northeast part of ...

The Moon was subjected to intense post-accretionary bombardment between about 4.5 and 3.9 billion years ago, and there is evidence for a short and intense late heavy bombardment period, around 3.85 _+ 0.05 Ga. If a late heavy bombardment occurred on the Moon, the Earth must have been subjected to an impact flux at least as intense. The consequences for the Earth must have been devastating. In a...

The frictional resistance on a fault during slip controls earthquake dynamics. Friction dissipates heat during an earthquake; therefore, the fault temperature after an earthquake provides insight into the level of friction. The Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 343 and 343T) installed a borehole temperature observatory 16 months after the March 201...
