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 ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the neotectonics of the Alps. The distribution of earthquakes on both sides of the Mediterranean defines the diffuse boundary between the Eurasian and African plates with other microplates. The technique of direct measurement of active deformation of rocks is based on different methods of varying accuracy such

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 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, 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.

Geodetic Control of Neotectonics in Venezuela
Tectonophysics, 1983ABSTRACT Henneberg, H.G., 1983. Geodetic control of neotectonics in Venezuela. In: P. Vyskocil, A.M. Wassef and R. Green (Editors), Recent Crustal Movements, 1982. Tectonophysics, 97: 1–15. Net installations for measurements of movement started in 1973 along the Bocono Fault, which is the main fault in the Venezuelan Andes.

The neotectonics of the Tibetan Plateau
Tectonics, 1984Part of the continuing northward convergence between India and Eurasia is probably taken up by strike slip displacement, with Tibet as a whole moving eastward away from the collision zone and undergoing east–west extension (Molnar and Tapponnier, 1975; Ni and York, 1978).

Neotectonics and Recent Paleogeography
2021The Northern Hellenides are characterized by slow convergence between the Apulian platform and the European margin with a rate of 8mm/year whereas the Southern Hellenides are characterized by a rapid oceanic subduction with a rate of 40–50mm/year. The Cephalonia right-lateral strike–slip fault forms a tear of the crust with 100km of horizontal slip ...

The origin of neotectonics on the lunar nearside
Geology, 2020Abstract New observations of wrinkle ridges on the nearside maria of the Moon display signs of ongoing ridge modification. In association with the wrinkle ridges, we observed an absence of superposed craters, narrow (<30 m) lobate scarps and graben, and thermal anomalies related to exposures of meter-size blocks.
