Tectonic geomorphology of the Serranía de San Lucas (Central Cordillera): Regional implications for active tectonics and drainage rearrangement in the Northern Andes

, 2020
We explore the structural and geomorphological evidence for recent tectonic activity in the Serrania de San Lucas (San Lucas Range, SLR), the northern segment of the Central Cordillera in the Colombian Northern Andes.

Neotectonics, active tectonics and earthquake geology： terminology, applications and advances

Journal of Geodynamics, 2019
Neotectonics and active tectonics are sub-disciplines of tectonics that study the process of recent tectonic deformation and tectonic geomorphic evolution on the Earth.

Quaternary tectonic activity in Scotland

Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 1991
Abstract The main features of seven faults inferred to have been active during the Quaternary in Scotland are summarized and their significance in terms of possible tectonic explanations is discussed. One fault in Glen Roy (Central Highlands) is described in detail and evidence is presented for changing stress fields inferred from modes of ...

Active tectonics of the Pamirs and Karakorum

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1994
The source parameters of moderate‐ to large‐sized earthquakes and the spatial distribution of earthquake hypocenters are used to investigate the active tectonics and three‐dimensional configuration of the subducted lithosphere in the Pamir‐Karakorum intracontinental convergence zone.

Tectonically Active Landscapes

Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2011
OK, I admit that I am a hard-rock geologist by training, and that I do not have formal education in geomorphology. However, my career has led me into seismic hazards assessment, where I have gained appreciation and respect for geomorphic methods used in assessing the age of fault movements (this from a person who once considered everything younger than

A global tectonic activity map

Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology, 1981
A three-part map, showing equatorial and polar regions, has been compiled showing tectonic and volcanic activity of the past one million years, including the present. Features shown include actively-spreading ridges, spreading rates, major active faults, subduction zones, well-defined plates, and volcanic areas active within the past one million years.

Impact of Tectonic Activity on Ancient Civilizations

2015
Impact of Tectonic Activity on Ancient Civilizations: Recurrent Shakeups, Tenacity, Resilience, and Change observes a remarkable spatial correspondence of zones of active tectonism (i.e. plate boundaries in the earth’s crust) with the most complex cultures of antiquity (“great ancient civilizations”), and continues to explore the meaning of this ...
