This study is aimed at distinguishing colluvial units which are tectonically induced from those which are not, by using pedogenic and stratigraphic characteristics.

A hypothesis is presented here of the landscape evolution of southeast Australia which brings together evidence of landforms, tectonics, drainage patterns and sedimentary basins to make a consistent picture. The sedimentary record of the basins
provides evidence of variation in the location and extent of erosion in the highlands, and the timing of major changes in drainage direction, caused mainly by tectonic warping. The major rivers can be traced back to Mesozoic and even Permian precursors.
occurence has arisen as a consequence of the tectonic development of the eastern Canadian Cordillera. The results indicate local gold assay values exceeding those reported elsewhere in the province in either placers or paleoplacers.
This paper represents the first attempt to divide the surface geomorphology of Kuwait into four major geomorphic zones: a) the coastal zone; b) the wadis and ridges zone; c) the lowland zone; and d) the dune fields zone. Tectonics as well as climate

Northern Shaanxi is located on the Erdos syncline, a subdivision of North China Shield. The loess landforms are the main landform types, additionally, there are low rocky mountains and hills, valleys and eolian landforms. Changes of tectonic

In the coastal karstic area of the southeastern Murge (Apulia, Italy) changes in sea level, due to vertical tectonic movement and/or global climatic phenomena, generated morphological effects both at the surface (marine terraces) and underground
been assessed integrating field and geophysical data. Landslide distribution and Holocene tectonic features have been compared with earthquake foci, geological deposits, slope area, inclination and orientation, and vegetation cover.
Several weak earthquakes were registered in the historical period in the area Vyšši Brod in South Bohemia. A morphogenetic research has been done to determine possible young tectonic activities in the neighbourhood of the significant Kaplice deep
fault. A special approach was used: monitoring of direct symptoms of young tectonic movements and possible reaction of young movements in selected susceptible forms of the present relief. - (MS)
