From an interpretation of Landsat imagery of Tibet the most recent structures appear to be normal faults that trend approximately north‐south. Fault plane solutions of 14 earthquakes in the central part of the Tibetan plateau indicate large components of normal faulting.

Quaternary tectonic activity in Scotland
Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 1991Abstract 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 Central Asia
Geotectonics, 2021Central Asia exceeds neighboring territories in the intensity of Quaternary uplifts and active faulting. The active fault kinematics differ in the northeast of the region, from Middle Tibet to Eastern Sayan, and its southern and western parts, including the Himalayas, the Pamir–Punjab syntaxis, and the region north of Gorny and Mongolian Altai.

Tectonically Active Landscapes
Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2011OK, 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

Active tectonics of the Pamirs and Karakorum
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1994The 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.

Active tectonics in the Kenya Rift
2022Magmatische und tektonisch aktive Grabenzonen (Rifts) stellen die Vorstufen entstehender Plattengrenzen dar. Diese sich spreizenden tektonischen Provinzen zeichnen sich durch allgegenwärtige Abschiebungen aus, und die räumliche Verteilung, die Geometrie, und das Alter dieser Abschiebungen lässt Rückschlüsse auf die räumlichen und zeitlichen ...

A global tectonic activity map
Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology, 1981A 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
2015Impact 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 ...

Active tectonics and tectonic geomorphology in the region of the Fella-Sava Fault
2022The Southern Alps are known to be a seismically active region. Despite this, the sources for most of the few, but strong historic earthquakes especially behind the Alpine front are still debated or completely unknown. In this study, we conducted a paleoseismological investigation around the FellaSava Fault in the border area between Austria, Italy, and
