The Campos do Jordão Plateau, situated in the Serra da Mantiqueira – western flank of Continental Rift Southeastern Brazil, presents several morphological features that are indicative neotectonic activity. This paper a morphotectonic map southeastern front plateau (scale 1:25,000), based on detailed photointerpretation, with structural data obtained during field surveys and also supported by mo...

■ Abstract Growth of the Japanese arc system, which has mainly taken place along the continental margin of Asia since the Permian, is the result of subduction of the ancient Pacific ocean floor. Backarc basin formation in the Tertiary shaped the presentday arc configuration. The neotectonic regime, which is characterized by strong eastwest compression, has been triggered by the eastward motion ...

Visual interpretation of satellite images is a very significant technique to recognize and interpret structural features, which indicate lateral growth folds, the origin dating folds using exposure method. In this study, Landsat 8 (ESSRI) Google Earth are used features at Pira Magroon, Surdash, Azmar anticlines in Sulaimaniyah vicinity, Kurdistan Region, north Iraq. The mentioned outstanding ge...

Abstract The Pannonian basin is an extensional back-arc that has undergone neotectonic inversion and currently shortening. understanding quantification of present-day deformation processes during this are still incomplete. To end, we investigate the active Circum-Pannonian region via interpolation GNSS-derived velocity field derivation strain rate fields. For field, use ordinary kriging, a stro...

[1] We have applied a thin-shell modeling technique to study the neotectonics of the Caribbean plate. Kinematic conditions computed assuming rotation poles and velocities from NUVEL-1A and from recent geodetic studies have been applied at the lateral boundaries of the model to represent the motion of the adjacent plates with respect to the Caribbean. We have generated a large number of models v...
