The Shanxi Rift System (SRS) is a prominent intracontinental rift in eastern Eurasia. However, its tectonic origin remains enigmatic, as the timing of initiation and subsequent evolution not well constrained. To evaluate cooling history flanks, we present joint apatite fission track (n = 15) (U-Th-Sm)/He 62) thermochronological study across Huo Shan Zhongtiao central southern SRS, respectively....

drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. the objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. for bacterial enumeration...

the makran subduction zone in southeastern iran and southern pakistan is where the oceanic crust of the arabian plate (oman sea) is subducting beneath eurasia. compared to other subduction zones in the world, the makran subduction zone has some unusual features, including different seismicity patterns in its eastern and western parts. also, the quaternary volcanoes in the eastern part of makran...

The earthquake and tsunami in Aceh Province, Indonesia, 2004 caused the deaths of nearly 200,000 people an economic loss up to USD 4 billion. recurrence period for is 250-400 years. Along subduction zone between Eurasia continental plate Indo-Australia oceanic plate, southern region Java Island a vulnerable whose not known until nowadays. This densely populated area largest source Indonesian in...

The persistent debate over the timing of initial Arabia–Eurasia collision has eluded consensus for decades, with most estimates ranging widely from ~50 to 10 Ma along both Anatolian and Zagros segments orogen. Here, we independently evaluate location using a quantitative plate tectonic reconstruction that is first include entire Arabian microcontinent regions north in eastern Anatolia, northwes...
