Active Tectonics of Central Asia

Geotectonics, 2021
Central Asia exceeds neighboring territories in the intensity of Quaternary uplifts and active faulting. The active fault kinematics differ in the northeast of the region, from Middle Tibet to Eastern Sayan, and its southern and western parts, including the Himalayas, the Pamir–Punjab syntaxis, and the region north of Gorny and Mongolian Altai.

ACTIVE BAIKAL TECTONICS

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 1995
Structural-geological and seismoacoustic studies carried out in 1989–94 within the Baikal Rift Zone show for the first time the internal active tectonic structure of the present Baikal Rift lake basin. A series of small structural features are distinguished not only by morphology but also by the degree of recent activity.

Active tectonics of Tibet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1978
From an interpretation of Landsat imagery of Tibet the most recent structures appear to be normal faults that trend approximately north‐south. Fault plane solutions of 14 earthquakes in the central part of the Tibetan plateau indicate large components of normal faulting.

Quaternary tectonic activity in Scotland

Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 1991
Abstract The main features of seven faults inferred to have been active during the Quaternary in Scotland are summarized and their significance in terms of possible tectonic explanations is discussed. One fault in Glen Roy (Central Highlands) is described in detail and evidence is presented for changing stress fields inferred from modes of ...

Active tectonics of the Andes

Tectonophysics, 1992
Nearly 90 mm a−1 of relative plate convergence is absorbed in the Andean plate-boundary zone. The pattern of active tectonics shows remarkable variations in the way in which the plate slip vector is partitioned into displacement and strain and the ways in which compatibility between different segments is solved.
