Relative tectonic activity assessment of the Tuz Gölü Fault Zone; Central Anatolia, Turkey
Tectonophysics, 2014Abstract The Tuz Golu Fault Zone is one of the major tectonic structures in Central Anatolia that can produce seismic hazards. This study provides geomorphic analyses of fault-generated mountain fronts and stream channel gradients that cross different segments of the fault zone. The mountain front sinuosity (Smf) and the valley-width to valley-height

Quantitative analysis of relative tectonic activity in the Jarahi-Hendijan basin area, Zagros, Iran
Geosciences Journal, 2015Quantitative analysis is a major factor controlling landform development in tectonically active regions, and it has significantly affected fluvial systems and mountain-front landscapes in the Jarahi-Hendijan basin area of the Zagros, southwest Iran. The area is located along the high Zagros, Zagros simple folded belt and coastal plain. It is an outcome

Investigation of geomorphic indices is a useful approach to identify the specific characteristics of active tectonics in each region. In this study, five geomorphic indices including stream length-gradient index, basin asymmetry, hypsometric integral, ratio of valley-floor width, and index of basin shape were estimated to assess relative active ...

Quantitative assessment of relative tectonic activity in the Alamarvdasht river basin, south of Iran
2016Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi ...

The Kali river basin of the southwest coast of India has been investigated to examine the influence of tectonic activity through an analysis of the geomorphic indices that were computed using geographical information system (GIS). Five geomorphic indices—stream length–gradient index, asymmetry factor, hypsometric integral, valley floor width-to-height ...

The Bailongjiang drainage basin is located in the transition zone between the Tibetan Plateau and the Loess Plateau. Active tectonic records demonstrate the interplay between the Tibetan Plateau uplift and the different movement of the faults. To assess the relative tectonic activities in this area, five geomorphic indices derived through geographic ...

Evaluation of the relative tectonic activity in the eastern Lake Van basin, East Turkey
Geomorphology, 2016Abstract The eastern part of the Lake Van basin (Van region, Turkey) is controlled by reverse faults, such as the Gurpinar, Everek and Alakoy faults. These represent the major tectonic structures within the Van region and have caused many devastating earthquakes.
