This study examines the use of the geographic information systems (GIS) in structural geomorphology to build the model of the crust based on fractal analysis of relief. Fractal theory, developed by B. Mandelbrot, used to determination morpho-bloc divisibility of the Earth’s surface. There is the traceable statistically recurring relief structure indicate the appropriate tiered hierarchy of crus...

Mashhad city, the second most populous metropolis of Iran, with a population of more than three million, lies between two seismically active regions of Binalood and Kopet-Dagh. In recent years, the city has grown around the South Mashhad (SM) fault zone in the south. Given the vital role of the SM fault in influencing the seismic risk of the city, this study is aimed at the evaluation of the fa...

The review of recent bathymetric and geophysical data collected in the framework several research cartographic projects have allowed a detailed reconstruction morpho-structural setting (neo)tectonic evolution for both Alpine Apennine margins Ligurian Sea (Italy). widespread occurrence erosional processes sediment mass movements along steep continental slope within system submarine canyons refle...

In this paper, we apply an effective method to evaluate relative tectonic activity by applying several morph-tectonic indices that are useful in evaluating topography and tectonics. These include stream length-gradient, asymmetric factor, hypsometric index, curves, valley floor width height ratio, drainage basin shape, mountain front sinuosity. The study region of Wadi Al-Arish northern Sinai P...

In this study, the effect of lithological and tectonic parameters on vegetation density was investigated. context, two faults their immediate surroundings in an area whose bedrock is flysch limestone southeast Turkey (south Lake Van) were chosen as sampling area. research area, generally, extensional regime NE-SW direction has developed many normal these have gained oblique character places. Th...

current research in order to identify neo tectonic activity of the ziyarat basin has been made on the northern slopes of the eastern alborz in south-gorgan and using the index of morpho tectonic and tectonic evidence in the area. in this regard, the 6 morphological parameters were calculated and the results are analyzed. the overall results of these features, as indicators of the relative activ...
