The flexural-slip fault (FSF), a type of secondary fault generated by bed-parallel slip, occurs commonly and plays an important role in accommodating fold growth. Although the kinematics and mechanics of FSFs are well studied, relatively few field observations or geometric models explore its geomorphic expression. In the Pamir-Tian Shan convergent zone, NW China, suites of well-preserved FSF sc...

This thesis explores speleogenesis within the Dartry Limestone Formation of Cuilcagh Mountain by considering the hydrogeology of the aquifer in the modern setting but also by considering its evolution since it was deposited during Asbian (Dinantian) times. Due to the synclinal structure of the region, which gently plunges northwestwards, the aquifer remains buried beneath the upland and is not ...

The phenomenon of coalbed-methane synclinal accumulation in the Qinshui Basin has been widely reported, but it mainly observed core block Syncline. questions arise: does this exist wing Syncline and, if so, what is mechanism behind it? Further study required to answer these questions. This paper focuses on South Anze No. 3 coal seam as an example. It conducts a systematic sorting geological cha...

kopet-dagh basin is located in north and northeast of iran. khangiran formation is one of the most important formations of paleogene deposits. for study of khangiran formation bivalves, chehelkaman syncline section has been selected. this section located in west of sarakhs city, east of kopet-dagh basin. lithology of this formation in the sarakhs region composed of marl, marly limestone and sil...

In this study, we focused on the formation and preservation processes of colluvial sedimentary breccias within an extensional context. The studied in work (from Crete Pyrenees) are characterized by poorly sorted polygenic deposits highly angular carbonate clasts whose size ranges from pebbles to blocks measuring several millimeters meters. This study shows that were formed during tectonics spat...

The Olang area is a part of Gheshlagh-Olang synclinal, which is a member of eastern Alborz coal basin and is situated at a distance of70 km northeast of Shahroud city. Coal-bearing strata of this region are part of the Shemshak group (Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic).Samples from the 9 coal seams of the Olang coal deposits were collected and ashed. The aim of this study is to determine theoccu...

Fold duplexes transfer displacement from a lower to an upper bounding detachment system via trains of folds with broadly parallel geometries. While they have been previously recognised in orogenic systems where are considered be kinematically equivalent imbricating thrust ramps, we here describe the first example gravity-driven fold and (FATS) developed within late-Pleistocene mass transport de...

lake maharlu basin is located in a synclinal valley of the folded zagros. the frame and rugged structure of the basin is made of three units of mountainous geomorphologic, smooth levels and tectonic hole and evolved during several geological periods under the effect of interactive relations of tectonic, climatology and hydro geomorphologic processes. in this study, the researchers applied histo...
