, their strikes fitting the shear lines of the neotectonic stress field. It is suggested that the local appearance of joints as extension fractures may have nothing to do with their orientation in the large-scale neotectonic stress field.
Neotectonic movements on a passive continental margin: Salvador region, Brazil
, vertical movements of faulted blocks produced shifted Holocene shorelines. This neotectonism is related to the reactivation, during the Quaternary, of faults bounding the several crustal blocks which form the sedimentary basin. These deformations
Geomorphology and neotectonics of the Valle Sacra in the Alto Canavese (Western Alps, Piedmont, Italy), an explanatory note to the Carta geomorfologica e neotettonica della Valle Sacra 1:12500

of the river systems exhibit sediment sequences and depositional/erosional forms that relate to this geomorphological history. The modern drainage system, to a large extent, is dominated by this development. Surimposed on this history, neotectonic adjustments
The 160 km long Sudetic Marginal Fault (SMF) of Middle Silesia, southwestern Poland, is a main Alpine fault oriented NW-SE. This paper provides evidence of possible neotectonic activity in front of the SMF. The data are based on 3 exposures

has been affected by postglacial faulting. There is also indirect evidence from the site stratigraphy that the site has been displaced. The implication of this work is that neotectonic faulting had a pervasive influence in the southern part
in the construction of the first morphostructural map of Kuwait which may be considered as the first step towards elucidating the neotectonic evolution.
Fluvial sediments in the Vltava, Berounka, Sázava and Labe valleys are preserved as extensive river terrace sequences. These accumulation terraces originated from an interaction of climate-morphogenetic and neotectonic processes in the late Cenozoic
