Introduction. The western and northwestern flanks of the Tharsis Montes volcanoes were covered by tropical mountain glaciers 125–220 million years ago [1], as evidenced by the morphology, stratigraphic relationships, and spatial distribution of landforms in the fanshaped deposits (FSDs) on each volcano [2-8] and by climate and glacial flow models that predict snow accumulation and ice flow in t...

introduction iran forms a relatively compact zone of active continental deformation resulted from the northward collision of arabia with eurasia during late cenozoic times, which is continuing to the present-day at a rate of 25 mm/yrs (from gps data). evidences of active tectonic in different parts of iran, has been studied and identified. the arid climate, low rates of erosion, and minimal veg...

Definition Geomorphology is the science that studies the origin and development of landforms and how those landforms combine to form landscapes. Landforms are shaped by geomorphological processes, many of which involve the weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition of surface materials (rock, sediment) by gravity, ice, wind, or water. Both erosional and depositional landforms can be id...

Two ages are attributed to each circular lunar sea, the age of formation of the circular basin, probably by impact, and the age of the filling of the basin by lava-like effusions.Each lunar-sea surface displays a range of geomorphic indices. This is interpreted as being due to the presence of effusions of different ages on the surface of each sea. The landing sites of Apollo 11 and 12 have geom...

geomorphosites or special geomorphologic sites are new concepts which have entered tourism literature with anemphasis on special sites. basically, the goal for discussing such concepts is to identify landforms with specialimportance on understanding the geomorphologic structure of a region and their scientific, ecological, cultural,aesthetic, and economical values. generally, they are used for ...

Fluvial landscapes are a result of lithospheric tectonic movement, climate evolution and surface processes. Existing evidence proves that regional deformation can be reflected by the fluvial landforms. The southern Alashan Block lies closest to northeastern Tibetan Plateau has become latest plateau outward expansion boundary. Yabrai Shan is located at intersection Plateau, Ordos Blocks, thereby...
