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.

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-

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 ...

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
2008Publisher 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 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 ...

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.

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 ...
