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

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

C'est dans le domaine continental intraplaque que les applications de la tectonique globale intéressent le plus les géologues pétroliers mais c'est aussi dans ce domaine que sa réalité est la plus difficile à percevoir.

Volcanism and seismicity in the Indo-Australian seismic belt: manifestations of intraplate tectonics
Disregarding the mid-oceanic ridges, the oceanic part of the Indo-<br />Australian Seismic Belt is the longest, seismically active zone in the<br />world-ocean. It begins west of Ceylon and runs towards Australia.

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]
During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Earthquake source mechanisms and plate tectonics [PDF]
This review and the accompanying references will be concerned mainly with earthquake source studies pertinent to plate tectonics. Studies on geological problems, lithospheric flexure and mantle convection are discussed in other reviews in this volume.

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...

SICILIAN JURASSIC PHYSIOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGIC REALMS (ITALY)
Two tectono-sedimentary domains, which were deformed during the Neogene and evolved into two large structural sectors, characterize the Sicilian Jurassic: the Maghrebides and Peloritani.

PALEOPROTEROZOIC TECTONICS AND EVOLUTIONARY MODEL OF THE ONEGA SYNCLINORIUM
Consideration is being given to the Onega Paleoproterozoic structure (Onega synclinorium, OS) as a tectonotype of intraplate negative structures, which experience intermittent subsidence over a long period of time.
