In this review, the A. examines the important developments in tectonic geomorphology at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales and the growing interest of geologists in geomorphology in general, and tectonic geomorphology in particular
The region is constantly adjusting in part or in whole to a spectrum of geomorphic events including : sea-level change, tectonic uplift, aeolian deposition, large landslide-triggering earthquakes, deforestation and landslide-triggering rainstorms
Stratigraphic and tectonic implications of uranium-series-dated coral reefs from uplifted Red Sea islands
The aim of this study is to establish a more precise chronology of the geologically young and poorly defined raised reef terraces for a better stratigraphic assessment of these Red Sea islands, and to test their tectonic vertical behavior
The geodynamic concept on the convecting Earth presented in this paper is based on a space-time analysis of the structural pattern of continents. It integrates most of the current version of the plate tectonic model. However a new dynamic aspect
. In this plate tectonic model, difficulties in unravelling Pacific evolution are overcome when tidal forces are accepted as being equally important in driving mantle convection, plates and global tectonics are as gravitational and centrifugal forces.
The Quaternary tectonic history of the river mouth region is related to the complex geomorphological features. Evidence on the terraces suggests recent continuous uplift. - (AJC)
Due to tectonical faults, the terraces of Nisţru river suffered deformations of 20-50 m relative altitude. The paper describes 8 fluvial terraces, generated by the climatic changes of the Pleistocene and by the evolution of the level of the Black

cover (ice sheet), with the central ice area located in Karakorum and reaching up to the high peaks of the Kunlun mountains, and down to the piedmont region. The paper also deals with the relations between glaciations and tectonic uplift, indicating
