  • Changes in the hypsometric curve through mountain building resulting from concurrent tectonics and denudation
  • Geomorphogenesis ; Hypsometry ; Japan ; Methodology ; Model ; Mountain ; Orogeny ; Tectonics ; Vertical movement
  • This paper simulates how the shapes of the hypsometric curves change through mountain building resulting from concurrent tectonics and denudation. Next, it discusses the relationship of the hypsometric curve to the stage of a geomorphic cycle

  • Fault-generated mountain fronts in the central Apennines (Central Italy): geomorphological features and seismotectonic implications
  • Appennino ; Fault ; Geomorphogenesis ; Italy ; Mountain ; Seismicity ; Slope ; Tectonics
  • Normal fault-generated mountain fronts are a characteristic element of the landscape in the Central Apennines. The purpose of this work is: 1) to recognize the recent activity of the tectonic structures responsible for their formation; 2
  • ) to investigate the influence of this activity on their geomorphological features. In order to reach this goal, three examples of normal fault mountain fronts, carved in different lithological conditions, are described and compared, also analysing the Quaternary

  • An expert system for predicting the probable failure of a mountain slope during heavy rainfall
  • Expert system ; Forecast;Prediction ; Japan ; Mass movement ; Mountain ; Precipitation ; Slope ; Slope dynamics
  • An expert system for consulting probable failure of a mountain slope is proposed. PROLOG, an artificial intelligence language was used. To examine whether the proposed system is appropriate, the AA. applied it to an area. The results show
  • that the dangerous goals are obtainable for failed slopes and the safety goals for non-failed ones. The results show also that topographical factors greatly influence the occurrence of surface failure on mountain slope.

  • The geomorphology and geomorphological history of the Velence mountains, which are strongly denuded and fragmented and of low-medium height, is elaborated on. The structure of the mountains are analysed along with the denudation process. - (JS)

  • Weathering pit characteristics and topography on Stone Mountain, Georgia
  • A detailed analysis of weathering-pit distribution on Georgia's Stone Mountain granite dome reveals a complex relationships between pit size and density, compared with slope aspect and angle. The AA. conclude that insolation weathering may be a more
  • important process in granite pit formation on Stone Mountain than commonly believed because afternoon temperature maxima accelerate weathering through increased chemical constituent dissolution and/or crystal constituent disintegration.
