Morphotectonics of the Alpine zone at the contact with the Ligurian and Po Basins
Examination of the literature and recent geomorphological and morphotectonic surveys have been employed to delineate the main steps in the morphotectonic evolution of this interesting area lying on the boundary between the Alps and the Apennines.
A morphotectonic map of the northern Arava in Israel, derived from isobase lines
The regional morphotectonic analysis consists basically of two consecutive steps, i.e., definition of stream orders and the preparation of isobase maps. The morphotectonic map is the final derivative of isobase maps. It portrays the basic lineaments
or dislocation lines derived by analysing deviations in the directions of isobase lines, of their spreading or compression and of deviations between axes of valleys. The morphotectonic map presented in this paper portrays several major morphostructural units
Morphotectonics indices of the Dead Sea transform, Jordan
Two morphotectonic indices (i.e. mountain front sinuosity (Smf) and valley-floor width to heigh ratio (Vf) were measured along the eastern margin of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. The subdivision was based on the continuity and trend
Morphotectonics of Papua New Guinea in The geomorphology of plate boundaries and active continental margins.
Tectonic features have generally been explained by plate tectonics, with collision and subduction, but newer hypotheses are now available, including exotic terranes. Here the AA. discuss some of the tectonic and morphotectonic features of Papua New
Morphotectonics and seismicity in the east of Marmara region, Turkey
The studied area shows a morphotectonic structure consisting of basins and uplifts. In the north the model of intermediate basins and lens-shaped mountains characterizes the North Anatolian fault zone (NAZF) tectonics. Towards the south
the morphotectonic model is the central-west Anatolia model of the extensional tectonic regime of the Aegean Sea. There is no similarity between the lens-shaped anticline-horst structures of the NAFZ and the southern areas. While the historical and measured larger
Morphotectonic and archaeological observations in the eastern Argive Plain (eastern Peloponnese, Greece) and their palaeoseismological implications
This study presents the results of geomorphological mapping at a scale of 1:5000 undertaken to identify landforms in the eastern Argive Plain which may have a tectonic significance. It aims to correlate morphotectonic observations of fault scarps
Neotectonic and morphotectonic implications of the Nile Delta basin, Egypt
The effect of the Late Cenozoic tectonics (neotectonics) and their associated morphotectonics on the Nile Delta basin since the Late Miocene are discussed. The Nile Delta site seems to be affected by basement-related tectonics as it is located
Morphotectonic indices of the Eastern Wadi Araba (Dead Sea Rift, Jordan)
Two morphotectonic indices (mountain front sinuosity, valley width to height ratio) were measured along the eastern rim of Wadi Araba, which represents the southern segment of the Dead Sea transform in Jordan. The area can be divided into three
The Morphotectonic Map of Mt. Etna is based on detailed field survey of morphologic and structural features outcropping on the volcanic edifice, supported by detailed analysis of orthophotos, stereo-pair photographs and satellite images. It helps
on a schematic geological map where the main sedimentary and volcanic units have been reported. Morphotectonic analysis shows that Mt. Etna volcano exhibits active extensional features represented by normal faults and eruptive fissures which are related
