, the genesis of notch shapes is discussed and a brief presentation of the geological setting and some archaeological and seismological information of the study area are summarized. Then, the methodology used and the main results obtained are presented
, and as recently as this century reference has been made to a concept embracing a tectonically inert continent. However, analyses of seismicity and faulting and regional geological mapping revealed widely distributed tectonic forms and especially fault-related
. The results have been represented in thematic maps, where landscape boundaries based on genetic notions coincided with neotectonic fault lines in several places. In order to make geomorphological and tectonic models correct the geological sediments of the high

and fluid-mechanics experiments may help to shed new light into geological processes whose knowledge may open new frontiers in the study of igneus systems and their evolution in time and space. - (NF)
The A. discusses the palaeohydrography of the Zagyva–Tarna River system. On the base of mapping abandoned meanders, field work, laboratory analyses, different dating methods and the results of previous geomorphological and Quarternary geological
The Tremiti Islands archipelago, located north of Gargano promontory's coast, is part of a complex geological area within the Adriatic basin, facing the junction between central and southern Apennines. This area is well known for Neogenic-Quaternary
The study area is located close to the principal thrust of the Gran Sasso d’Italia massif, whose landforms are mainly controlled by geological, structural and glacial processes. In fact, important morphostructures have been identified as being
both for watersheds used in Dury's original study and for other watersheds in the region. Using GIS-based analysis of digital raster graphics, digital elevation models, and U.S. Geological Survey hydrology data, the AA. could not replicate Dury's
