Active tectonics deduced from geomorphic indices and its implication on economic development of water resources in South-Eastern part of Mikir massif, Assam, India

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2020
The geomorphic analysis of mountain fronts and related drainage networks can provide valuable insights about the recorded tectonic history of any given region especially when the area shows higher seismic activity in recent times. Therefore, such studies

Neotectonics and Geothermal potential of the East Anatolian Tectonic Block: A case study in Diyadin (Ağrı) geothermal field, NE Turkiye

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2023
The study area is Diyadin, which is situated 71 km ESE of Ağrı very close to the Turkish-Iranian State border. It is one of several type localities of promising geothermal fields in the Eastern Anatolia.

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

Mechanism of the Donghekou landslide triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake revealed by discrete element modeling [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014
The huge Donghekou landslide was triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 with about 2.4 × 107 m3 of rock displaced. The landslide is considered as an example of an earthquake-induced "ejection" event, where dislocated slope materials was expelled ...

Research review and prospects of the 2000 giant Yigong long-runout landslide: Volume, formation mechanism and recurrence period, Tibetan plateau, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The long-runout landslide is an unusual landslide with great drop height, long sliding distance, large volume, and high velocity, which is characterized by strong kinetic energy, fragmentation and entrainment effect.

Effects of Seismogenic Faults on the Predictive Mapping of Probability to Earthquake-Triggered Landslides

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019
The seismogenic fault is crucial for spatial prediction of co-seismic landslides, e.g., in logistic regression (LR) analysis considering influence factors.

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]

, 1983
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Active Tectonics of the Frontal Himalayas: An Example from the Manzai Ranges in the Recess Setting, Western Pakistan

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Himalayan main frontal thrust (MFT) accommodates most of the present-day Indo–Asia convergence with related periodic earthquakes. The seismicity and deformation mechanism varies considerably across the frontal Himalayas.

Quaternary Landform Development in the Central segment of tectonically active Kachchh Mainland Fault zone, Western India

Quaternary Science Advances, 2021
The landform aggradation in an arid climatic region is often regulated by external forces, that provide signatures of climate and tectonic perturbations.
