van Haaften and White (1998) presented kinematic data from shear zones within the Talga Talga Anticline of the Marble Bar belt to invoke a regional thrust-accretion tectonic origin for the East Pilbara Craton. By examination of small-scale, local faults, they inferred five phases of regional deformation, of which an early ESEdirected thrusting event which reactivated ca. 3450 Ma normal faults, ...

Formation and deepening of submarine canyons are typically attributed to erosion. We present data from an industry-grade seismic volume located offshore Brunei Darussalam illustrating how topography typically associated with erosion can be produced under conditions of net sediment deposition. These data were generated via subsurface mapping in the vicinity of a shale-cored anticline on the Quat...

The Khushab anticline is located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt in the Lurestan. This anticline is affected by the Balarud fault zone, which is a part of Mountain Front Fault between the Lurestan and Dezful Embayment zones. Based on the measurement of the elements of fold style, this anticline is analyzed. According to these measurements, this anticline is a noncylindrical, asymmetrical and dis...

nesar anticline is located in west of country and in north of kermanshah province. pattern of drainage network at each district is under the effect of various factors which has intensive anomaly in nesar anticline in spite of its low area and this in turn reflects different lithology, tectonic effects and slope changes in anticline. the goal of this research is the recognition of influential fa...

The geomorphology of the western sector of the Mid-Channel Anticline (MCA), Santa Barbara, southern California suggests the actively growing fold is laterally propagating to the west. The presence of fold scarps and cross faults that segment the structure suggests that buried faults that are producing the folding are present at shallow depths. The summit area of the anticline at the Last Glacia...

Introduction The lowest known portion of the Poorman Formation as determined from diamond drilling and mapping is the Yates Unit. It largely comprises amphibolite, but also contains interbedded volcaniclastics, calc-silicate beds, metachert, and carbonate-rich semipelitic rocks. This unit is exposed at the surface in the Blacktail Gulch area north of Lead and continues down-plunge to the southe...

morphometric characteristics of anticlines can play an important role in the exploration of oil resources. the purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of geomorphology on the exploration of oil resources in oil-rich bankol and oil-less danehkhoshk anticlines by means of geomorphological indices. to achieve the purpose of this study, topographic maps at a scale of 1:50000 and geologic...
