Coseismic uplift of Holocene marine terraces in the Pakarae River area, eastern North Island, New Zealand
This paper presents the first detailed terrace description and evaluation of the timing and deformation pattern for each coseismic event. The AA. describe the terrace morphology and terrace deposits at three localities in region C (determined by Ota
et al., 1983) and report ages from six of the seven terraces at Pakarae River and from several levels at Puatai Beach and Waihau Bay.
The geomorphological characteristic of Neogene sediments and Pleistocene terraces of the Berounka river are shown. The localities of Lower Miocene Age sediments are clean-cut and neotectonically dislocated. 13 levels and 7 groups of the Pleistocene
terraces diverging downstream, have been incorporated into the stratigraphical Czech Pleistocene system. - (MS)
The genesis of terraces in the three gorge valley of the Yangtze River
Based on field survey, chemical and mineral analyses, archaeological data, radiocarbones dates, and pollen diagram, a hypothesis is presented that the rock planes of terraces and their overlying gravels and fine flood sediments were developed
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
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)
Alluvial terrace distributions and profiles drawn using the terrace heights provide the main evidence of the captures, and also evidence of the time when the captures occurred. The AA. have worked on late Quaternary deposits and climatic history
the Late Quaternary. Hence, it is possible to confirm the Weichselian age of the intact and the reduced low terrace and to record chronostratigraphically the greatly differentiated fluvial dynamics during the Holocene. - (L'A.).
Kame terraces recognized at the northern foot of East Kunlun Mts allowed the reconstruction of glaciation and deglaciation of this area during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The deglaciation took place late in the early Holocene, around 8000
The structure of four Vistulian terraces and two Holocene Levels of the flood plain is presented. A dating of organic deposits showed that a cut off of meanders and covering of peats by muds took place about 3 100 BP, 1 000 BP and in Little Ice Age
Loess deposits are widespread within the piedmont and intramontane depressions of Central Asia. They cover piedmont plains, river terraces, ridge slopes and watersheds. Loess is a significant component in the piedmonts of Tien Shan, eastern Fergana
