Asymmetrical valleys created by the geomorphic response of rivers to strike-slip fault
. River beheading and asymmetrical widening are 2 end-members of a fluvial valley's response to strike-slip faulting, whereas deflection is a combination of both. Recognition of the formation of such asymmetrical valleys related to strike-slip faulting
The larger rivers with higher erosional rates may widen their valleys asymmetrically downstream of strike-slip faults, rather than being beheaded or deflected. Examples are described from the Yellow River near the NE margin of the Tibetan Plateau
Landform and vegetation change in the Greaves Creek Basin : an asymmetric hanging valley in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales
Greaves Creek has cut a hanging valley through the entire Triassic sandstone sequence near Blackheath in the western Blue Mountains. The course of the creek is related to joint directions. Topographic asymmetry expressed as unequal slopes
of the valley sides is related to differential insolation, erosion, vegetation cover, bioturbation and fire intensity. Vegetation structure and floristics within Greaves Creek valley are related to physiography of the valley and to aspect through their effects

Asymmetrical valleys of periglacial origin in south-eastern Hesbaye, Belgium
In south-eastern Hesbaye, where very few courses of running water exist, shallow linear depressions observed on the plateau form a fossil drainage pattern. These dry valleys are cut in the loess cover. Their cross-profile is asymmetrical, due
Morphological and mathematical analysis of asymmetrical fluvial pattern: a study case from the Ucayali River (Peru)
Etude, à différentes échelles, des formes fluviales asymétriques du cours inférieur de la rivière Ucayali. Les relations qui existent entre l'orientation de la rivière, la direction du bord de la plaine alluviale et les failles néoectoniques
Flow structure at an asymmetrical stream confluence
This research demonstrates how time-averaged downstream and cross-stream velocity fields at an asymmetrical stream confluence vary with changes in the momentum flux ratio and the combined (total) discharge of the confluent tributaries. In particular
that have addressed the mandate and rationale of the WTO's formal and legalistic DSM, paying especial attention to the realist perspective on international trade, the issue of fairness, and implications of asymmetric power relations for local development
This article highlights the role of Dispute settlement mechanisms (DSMs) in free trade agreements, especially in relation to the World Trade Organization (WTO), and draws out some implications for local development. The study reviews literatures
A multi-disciplinary (geomorphology, ecology, sedimentology, geology, gravimetry, ground penetrating radar, and direct current resistivity) study established a relation among the subsurface structure of Laguna El Fresnal, the geomorphic units
, and the vegetation. According to gravity data, Laguna El Fresnal is an asymmetric fault bounded basin. The geomorphic units and the vegetation along the eastern and western sides of El Fresnal basin show marked differences. This indicates that the western border
The quaternary foreland-sedimentation at the edge of the Styrian SE-Alps (upper Raab/Rába-catchment area near Hungary) is analysed. This environment is based on the particular high-metamorph bedrocks in the upper-drainage areas and the asymmetric
