The Rioni foreland fold-and-thrust belt is part of the Greater Caucasus pro-wedge and one most important examples collision-driven far-field deformation Arabia-Eurasia convergence zone. Here we show structural style based on seismic reflection profiles regional balanced cross-section. main within represented by a set fault-propagation folds, duplexes, triangle cross-section shows that folds abo...

New high-resolution bathymetric data from Atlantis Massif and surrounding seafloor (30°N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge) records avolcanic extension associated with the formation of axial rift valley floor, following tectonic truncation an active corrugated oceanic detachment fault system. The truncated is tectonically uplifted by a high-angle valley-bounding normal fault, formed after westward migration ...

SUMMARY A numerical simulation of earthquake cycles at the subduction zone a plate interface was conducted, using rate- and state-dependent friction law, to examine aseismic sliding processes propagating into locked interface. In model, reverse fault is assumed in 2-D uniform elastic half-space, relative motion imposed with constant velocity. Simulated earthquakes occur repeatedly shallower sei...

The Eastern Sichuan area is a typical fold-and-impulse zone. It bounded by the Qiyue Mountain fault, with septal folds on east and west. Based previous geological mapping surface structure research as well fault-related folding theory, in this study, tectonophysical simulation experiments were conducted to investigate tectonic geometry kinematics of fold-impulse selecting different experimental...

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting Esfahan's edible fig (Ficus carica cv. Sabz). A hand held limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude was used for this study. A 3x3 factorial experiment with three levels of oscillating frequency (10, 12 and 14 Hz) and three levels of shaking amplitude (20, 32.5 and 45 ...

Buckle folds are common traps for hydrocarbon in several contractional provinces. Buckle folds form where stratified sequences rest a top salt or some other utterly weak rock as a decollemet zone in units with high competency contrasts by a compressive stress which acted along the length of the rock layers. An important parameter affecting buckle folding of a competent zone above a mobile decol...
