Active Tectonics of the Aegean Region
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1994The Aegean Sea and its surrounding regions comprise one of the most rapidly deforming parts of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain belt. Though the deformation of the belt as a whole is related to thc northward move ment of Africa, Arabia, and India relative to Eurasia, the tectonics of the Aegean region itself is dominated by strike-slip and extensional ...

Tectonophysics, 1992
Nearly 90 mm a−1 of relative plate convergence is absorbed in the Andean plate-boundary zone. The pattern of active tectonics shows remarkable variations in the way in which the plate slip vector is partitioned into displacement and strain and the ways in which compatibility between different segments is solved.

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 1995
Structural-geological and seismoacoustic studies carried out in 1989–94 within the Baikal Rift Zone show for the first time the internal active tectonic structure of the present Baikal Rift lake basin. A series of small structural features are distinguished not only by morphology but also by the degree of recent activity.

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.

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.

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

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.
