Abstract The Cretaceous–Eocene island arc of Hispaniola is currently shortened between the Bahamas carbonate platform to the north and the thickened crust of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) to the south. Within this transpressional setting, the 15–22‐km‐thick, ∼100‐km‐wide Beata Ridge (BR), the thickest portion of the CLIP, acts as a ...

Map of neotectonic (Latest Pliocene-Quaternary) deformation in Arizona [PDF]
This map presents data and interpretations concerning the distribution, amounts and timing of neotectonic faulting in Arizona. It is one part of a Larger study and analysis of the neotectonic framework of Arizona sponsored jointly by the U.S.

Tectonic evolution of the southern part of Central Viet Nam and the adjacent area
Interpretations of seismic, gravity and magnetic anomalies and structural data on the coastal zone of southern part of Central Viet Nam (SCVN) and the adjacent Tertiary basins suggest several phases in the tectonic evolution of the study region since the

Neotectonics and inferred movements in Canada [PDF]
Neotectonic movements in Canada are due to a variety of causes. Within the Canadian Shield (craton) postglacial rebound appears to be the main contributor.

Abstract Throw rates of active faults are expected to scale with fault length because the geometric moment of a fault is directly related to its dimensions. However, empirical data sets commonly display substantial scatter, which limits the use of fault scaling relationships for seismic hazard assessment and for understanding the mechanics of ...

Preliminary Neotectonic Map of Onshore-offshore Taiwan [PDF]
International audienceThe diversity of the research in earth sciences leads to a multisource approach to investigate the surroundings of Taiwan. Various data sets combined by a Geographical Information System (GIS) enable us to propose an intergrated ...

Gully erosion in India: Geo‐environmental controls and region‐specific characteristics
Spatial statistical analyses using a novel spatial database of India‧s gully erosion landforms revealed that India has six major gullying‐affected regions, three of which (EU, DU, and KCH) are dominated by gully systems (gully networks), with badlands (vast intensely gullied landscapes) being predominant in the other three regions (YB, GP, and RU ...

Neotectonic structures of the Upper Silesian region, Southern Poland [PDF]
Neotectonic structures of the Upper Silesia that originated during the last 5 Ma (Pliocene and Quaternary) overlap Miocene grabens and horsts of the Carpathian Foredeep. They had been reactivated in Pliocene as an effect of the young Alpine uplift of the

Tectonic Interplay in the Gulf of Cagliari (Italy): Extension, Compression and Strike‐Slip Movements
Since the Oligocene, extensional tectonics of the Sardinia Rift and Campidano Graben interacted with the collision between Sardinia and northern Africa, generating reverse faults. At the Plio‐Quaternary boundary, compressional tectonics resumed, shaping the southern margin of the gulf through transpressional tectonics of the exposed Ichnusa High ...
