Geological deformations in the Pannonian Basin during the neotectonic phase: New insights from the latest regional mapping in Hungary [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2020
The present paper introduces the new 1:500 000 scale map of young geological deformations in Hungary, including all important deformation structures (faults and folds) related to the neotectonic evolutionary phase (

Neotectonics

Journal of the Geological Society, 1986
The study of neotectonics is carried out by workers from a wide variety of disciplines, including structural geology seismology, regional geophysics, geomorphology and engineering geology. Landsat MSS imagery is a particularly effective tool for the investigation of neotectonic structures.

Neotectonics

2005
Debate in neotectonics mainly hinges on how far back in time the prefix ‘neo’ should be taken. The term ‘neotectonics’ means, in a first approximation, geologically young, recent or living (active) crustal structures and processes. Some of the many definitions (Angelier 1976; Mercier 1976; Beloussov 1978; Hancock and Williams 1986; Vita-Finzi 1986 ...

Neotectonics, Seismology and Paleoseismology

2008
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the neotectonics of Argentine–Chilean Patagonia and overviews the active tectonics of the southernmost region of South America, which constitutes a field of relatively recent development on a national standard.

Neotectonics

Geology Today, 1988
Neotectonics is the study of Earth movements of late Cenozoic age, especially those in harmony with contemporary horizontal and vertical crustal motions. Precise information about the character, frequency and rate of recent movements is an essential part of planning how to reduce earthquake hazard, and it also allows tectonicians to devise realistic ...

Neotectonics of the Caribbean

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, 1997
Abstract 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 of The Netherlands: a review

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2005
Abstract 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 ...
