Fallamiento neotectónico de la Península de Nicoya y su relación con el escape tectónico delantearco Centroamericano Neotectonic faulting of the Nicoya Peninsula and its relation with the tectonic escape of the Central American forearc sliver

Revista Geológica de América Central, 2011
Se ha determinado un arreglo de fallas neotectónicas dentro de la península de Nicoya. En la parte central y NW de la península predominan bloques limitados por fallas de desplazamiento de rumbo dextral con rumbo N-S, dentro de los cuales se reconocen ...

Main morphotectonic characteristics of Asturias, Spain [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2005
Asturias is part of one of the four morphotectonic mesoblocks that make up the Northern macroblock (Number 9) of the Iberian plate. The framework of territorial regionalization was developed on the basis of the methodology of Rantsman (1979) using ...

Morphotectonics of Kremenets Mountains

Visnyk of the Lviv University. Series Geography, 2016
The aim of this work is the analysis and interpretation of the results of morphotectonic analysis of the territory of the Kremenets Mountains in order to study its neotectonic history and to identify the regional morphotectonic differences. The methods of the reconstruction of the post-Sarmatic planation surface and lineament analysis were used for ...

Range‐Parallel Extension of the Andes in the 2020 Mw 5.7 Humahuaca Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Normal‐faulting earthquakes in mountain ranges provide important constraints on the dynamics of mountain building. To date, well‐documented examples of range‐parallel extension come primarily from the Tibetan Plateau, limiting our ability to test different models for its cause.

Morphotectonic and Morphometric analysis of Vishav Basin left bank Tributary of Jhelum River SW Kashmir Valley India [PDF]

International Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2015
Morphotectonics interplays between the landscape development and the tectonics. Usually, the development of many geomorphic features has been related solely to exogenic and nontectonic causes but many of them are developed mainly due to the prevailing ...

Is the Suez Rift in Its Post‐Rift Phase?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Failed rifts are widely assumed to enter post‐rift tectonic quiescence after termination of intracontinental rifting, but a comprehensive understanding of their regional morphotectonics is lacking. Our quantitative, rift‐scale geomorphic analyses in the Suez Rift, an archetypal failed rift in Egypt, reveals widespread rifting after presumed ...

Shortening, Exhumation, and “Flip” in Tectonic Vergence of the Cordillera Central and Southern Dominican Republic

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract In a subduction zone, variability in the buoyancy and structure of the downgoing plate impacts deformation patterns in the overriding plate. Thick and buoyant lithosphere or smaller‐scale indentors entering the trench can lead to significant relief development and exhumation. To investigate such processes, we target the Cenozoic reorganization

Controls on Water‐Magma Interactions at Hydraulically‐Charged Volcanic Islands

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract The interaction of rising magma with groundwater can produce phreatomagmatic explosions, which, given their enhanced explosivity and unpredictability, increase the hazard potential of volcanic eruptions. To investigate the link between groundwater occurrence and phreatomagmatism, we compare the volcanic record of Flores Island (Azores) with ...
