A new concept of neotectonics within the framework of geotectonics is discussed in this article. The A. applied the principles of synergetics and periodicity. Neotectonics can be regarded as a discipline studying, above all, the Earth's crust
The AA. reconsider features described as neotectonic in origin, especially the correspondence between these features, the distribution and characteristics of seismic activity, and the local morphology (fault scarps, hydrographic markers). The AA
. also question neotectonic interpretations that have been proposed in the literature for some landforms located outside seismic areas. The objective is to form a preliminary assessment of the morphological effects of neotectonics in the study area
of the south Tyrrhenian border dynamics. Integrated methodologies of analysis have been utilised to evaluate the neotectonic setting of the northern sector of the island. - (NF)
Neotectonic and volcanic characteristics of the Karasu fault zone (Anatolia, Turkey) : the transition zone between the Dead Sea transform and the East Anatolian fault zone
The aim of this paper is to shed some light onto the neotectonic evolution of the Karasu Rift based on K-Ar dating of its volcanism, age and type of faulting during the Plio-Quaternary period.
earthquakes also have the potential to leave a record in the rock, chiefly in the form of mineral precipitates. A new branch of neotectonics is proposed: neohydrotectonics concerned with the fossil record of hydrogeological changes that have accompanied
A model of progressive slope failure under the effect of the neotectonic stress field in Geomorphological models. Theoretical and empirical aspects.
This paper is a progress report on the state of the art in the study of the relationship between the neotectonic stress field and the stability of slopes.

The object of this research is the study of those morphological elements caused by neotectonic movements, that are located in a narrow area on the eastern flank of Mont Etna, a zone in which several earthquakes with very shallow foci have occurred
. The methods used in this work are based on three stages of research: 1), the collection, elaboration and interpretation of bibliographic data about neotectonics and history seismicity; 2), the interpretation of aerial photos to identify geomorphological
structures due to neotectonics; and 3), data verification with field survey.
The Sudetes Montains are characterised by a residual tectonic topography, the typical landform being mature fault-generated range fronts originated during the Late Tertiary. The general pattern of neotectonic movement in this area can be inferred
from analysis of drainage systems and the distribution of erosion surfaces. The aim of this paper is to outline the usefulness of some landforms in neotectonic reconstructions in tectonically less active areas.
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
