Morphotectonics of the Mascarene Islands
A study is made of the orientations (strikes/trends) of joints, valleys, ridges and lineaments, i.e. of the (potentially) morphotectonic features, of the Mascarene Islands (Reunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues) in the Indian Ocean.

Significant advances have been made in the fields of tectono‐geomorphology and neotectonics in recent years. The development of satellite geodesy and improvements in geophysical tools for dating Quaternary materials combined with the widespread availability of high‐resolution digital topography have improved our ability to resolve the impacts of active

Morphotectonics and resultant features in Kaliani River Basin (Assam) / Ação Morfotectonica e Paisagens Resultantes na Bacia Hidrográfica de Kaliani (Assam) [PDF]
The surficial structure and impressions upon the crust due to endogenetic and exogenetic mechanisms are witnessed all around us. These landforms have evolved as a result of plate movements, subsidence, upliftment and various erosional processes.

Morphotectonics of the Tasso Stream - Sagittario River valley (Central Apennines, Italy)
This work presents the morphotectonic map of the Tasso Stream-Sagittario River valley, located in the Central Abruzzo area (Marsica region), in one of the areas of highest average elevation in the Apennines chain between two main intermontane basins (i.e.

Morphotectonics of the Pescara River basin (Central Italy)
This work presents a morphotectonic map of the Pescara River basin (1:40,000 scale), located in the piedmont-hilly area of the central-eastern Apennines (Abruzzo Region, Italy), and stretching from the eastern slope of the chain (Maiella Massif, Morrone ...

Geomorphology and structure — Morphotectonics
The influence of structure on geomorphology is profound. Not only are the great features in the morphology of the globe — mountain chains, plateaux, rift valleys, continental margins, and the like — predominantly of structural origin and formed by folding, faulting, or warping, but many of the minutiae of land forms, the shape of hills or mountains ...

Slow Geodynamics and Fast Morphotectonics in the Far East Tethys [PDF]
How can the sluggish, long‐wavelength mantle convection be expressed by so many time and space scales of morphotectonic activity? To investigate these relationships, we explore the Java‐Banda subduction zone, where geodynamic records cluster.

Adrian E. SCHEIDEGGER, Morphotectonics
Voilà un ouvrage dont le titre est sans détour : l’auteur se propose effectivement d’examiner les relations entre les structures créées par les forces tectoniques et le relief terrestre, en particulier la mise en place des réseaux de drainage, les formes

Data on morphotectonic indices of Dashtekhak district, Iran. [PDF]
Morphotectonic indices by representing the longer period of time than recorded earthquake data, are useful in evaluating the tectonic activity of a region. Dashtkhak area is located in Kerman province of Iran, where one of the most active faults, Kouhbanan strike slip fault, passes through.
