Geology of the Tehachapi Mountains, California [PDF]
The San Joaquin-Sacramento Valley, also known as the Great Valley of California, separates the Coast Ranges on the west from the Sierra Nevada on the east. The southern part of this major physiographic and structural province is about 50 miles in average

Dynamics of active continental margins
The research presented in this thesis is aimed at contributing to our understanding of the forces that control the state of stress and associated deformation of overriding continental margins. For reasons outlined below, the study concentrates on two areas where deformation is currently active: the western margin of the South American plate, comprising

Geohazard features of the Ligurian Sea
We present the characterization of geohazard-related features of the Ligurian Sea with the map of its physiographic domains (1:250,000 scale) and five maps (1:100,000 scale) of the morphological and morpho-bathymetric elements. These were realized in the

At convergent margins, plates collide producing a subduction process. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser (i.e., oceanic) plate subducts beneath the less dense (continental) plate.

Wilson study cycles: Research relative to ocean geodynamic cycles [PDF]
The effects of conversion of Atlantic (rifted) margins to convergent plate boundaries; oceanic plateaus at subduction zones; continental collision and tectonic escape; southern Africa rifts; and global hot spot distribution on long term development of ...
