This paper examines topography-structure relationships in an effort to evaluate tectonic signatures in the landscape, paying special attention to recent tectonic activity. Topography, defined by elevation data, was analysed by both GIS and trend
-surface analysis. Digital data were used to produce a Digital Elevation Model, allowing for rapid characterization of landscapes and the analysis of tectonic structure-topography relationships. By combining slope gradients and slope orientations, the AA
Tectonic units from the Sierra Espuña - Mula area (SE Spain) : implication on the triassic paleogeography and the geodynamic evolution for the Betic-Rif Internal Zone
This paper mainly shows the stratigraphic characteristics of the tectonic units from the Espuña-Mula area, discussing the meaning of the sedimentary facies and their lateral distribution to provide better palaeogeographic reconstructions as well

The author extends traditional set of methods for tectonic geomorphology developed for the integration of tectonic geomorphology into GIS based on digital terrain modelling. The paper gives fundamental topics for understanding instead of particular
Basic regional crustal setting and superimposed local pluton-intrusion-related tectonic in the Larderello-M. amiata geothermal province, from integrated CROP seismic data
It is widely recognized that drastic changes of deformation style have occurred in the southern Apennines around the late Pliocene and the middle Pliocene, passing from a dominant compressional tectonics, associated with the Pliocene accretion
that such tectonic reorganisations can be explained as effects of major changes in the kinematics of the Adriatic plate, induced by first order tectonic events in the surrounding regions. - (NF)
This study investigates the origin and regional tectonic implications of high-altitude Plio-Quaternary fluvial deposits developed over the Bozdağ horst. A total of 23 deposits occur near the modern drainage divide comprising fluvial to occasionally
are of Quaternary age, which corresponds to the latest N-S directed extensional tectonic phase in the region.
Geomorphology, pedology and sedimentology of the Deoha/Ganga-Ghaghara Interfluve, Upper Gangetic Plains (Himalayan Foreland Basin) - extensional tectonic implications
The Deoha/Ganga-Ghaghara Interfluve has been mapped for its geomorphology, and soil-geomorphic units, tectonic features, using remote sensing digital data analysis and geographical information system techniques. Also, fieldwork was carried to study
Structural arcs are very common at the front of mountain belts. The complexity of their internal structures, typically non-cylindrical, is mainly due to the presence of tectonic elements (lateral ramps, strike-slip faults) oblique to the main trend

WSW-ENE striking fault system. The structural analysis pointed out the occurence of three tectonic deformation stages characterized by ductile and brittle structures. In conclusion, during the Lower Pleistocene a compressive event, induced
Sicily is characterised by active deformations, as suggested by the presence of very recent faulted deposits and by widespread seismicity. The northen portion of the Sicilian belt has undergone strike-slip tectonics since the Pliocene, as the effect
The Guadix-Baza basin is one of a number of intramontane depressions located within the Betic Cordillera, where the geological and geomorphological evolution is controlled by tectonic activity. The aim of this paper is to distinguish the main
