Reviews of Geophysics, 1984
A compilation of earthquake focal mechanism solutions together with the interpretation of inclined, intermediate‐depth seismic zones, Neogene strike‐slip faults, fault‐controlled basins, and volcanism is used to test three existing models for the neotectonic (i.e., Neogene or post‐Oligocene) development of the Caribbean.

Bronx river diversion: neotectonic implications
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 1997Abstract Nearly all of the rivers draining the Manhattan Prong physiographic subprovince in New York City and vicinity flow southwestward in wide NE-SW-trending strike-valley lowlands underlain by the Cambro-Ordovician Inwood Marble. For most of its course, the Bronx River flows in such a strike-valley lowland. However, just at the point where the NW-

Neotectonics in central Mexico
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1990Regional neotectonic activity in central Mexico was mapped through analysis of eleven Landsat Thematic Mapper images. The study area stretches from Mexico City on the east to the Gulf of California on the west, between 17° and 21° N latitude. Fault scarps of Plio-Quaternary age define several large scale tectonic features within the Mexican Volcanic ...

Neotectonics of The Netherlands: a review
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2005Abstract Earthquakes and vertical land movements inferred from geodetic levelling results demonstrate that the Netherlands is situated on a tectonically active part of the Earth's surface. Tectonic subsidence analyses of the sedimentary records in the basins and the history of tectonic uplift inferred from Meuse river terraces show that the current ...

Introduction to Neotectonics and Bioregionalisation
2020Neotectonics has undergone incredible development since Vladimir Obruchev proposed the term in 1948. With the discovery of mid-oceanic ridges, subduction, mantle flow, and dynamic topography, neotectonics has become the forefront of tectonic research.

Neotectonics and River Valleys
2019This chapter presents a deductive analysis of the geomorphological evolution of northeastern Brazil. This analysis faces the need to update the interpretations of landform evolution, which should take into account the work carry out by rivers, to revisit the classical literature and contrast their interpretations with more recent morphotectonic ...
