Tectonics and geomorphology [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2010
The field of tectonic geomorphology is in a state of tension. The widespread availability of high-quality, high-resolution digital topographic data encourages the development of simple morphological ‘tools’ which can be used to deduce recent tectonic evolution.

Tectonic geomorphology in the Shanxi Graben System, northern China [PDF]

open access: yesGeomorphology, 1998
The Shanxi Graben System is composed of a series of normal fault-controlled basins which are arranged in an s-shaped curve over a distance of about 1200 km.

Tectonic predesign in geomorphology

2005
The evolution of landscapes is governed by a few simple principles which can be viewed in the context of complexity-theory: landscapes can be regarded as open nonlinear systems in which tectonic processes furnish the “input” and denudational processes the “output” (“Antagonism Principle”).

Tectonic Geomorphology, Second Edition

Environmental & Engineering Geoscience, 2013
Review by: Richard P. Smith This second edition of Tectonic Geomorphology (Burbank and Anderson, 2012) is written only a little more than a decade after the first edition, but the changes are substantial: 500 new references, most published in the last decade, and 150 new illustrations have been added.

Tectonic processes and geomorphological design

Tectonophysics, 1986
Abstract Deep-seated geodynamic processes are the cause of the existence of the geotectonic stress field. The influence of the latter and therefore of deep-seated processes, in surface geomorphology is investigated. It is noted that the features caused by deep-seated (geotectonic) processes can be distinguished from those caused by exogenic agents ...

TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE MAKU FAULT

2023
Earthquakes are among the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena on a global scale.Understanding the characteristics of active faults/fault zones of faults that are the source ofearthquakes is one of the challenging and complex areas of science.

Tectonic Evolution, Geology, and Geomorphology

2005
The present-day major relief features of western Europe are to a great extent determined by the underlying geological structures, either passively or actively. To get a comprehensive picture of their morphological evolution and interrelations, this chapter provides an overview of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the larg-escale tectonic ...

Geomorphology and tectonics of the Dorrigo Plateau, N.S.W.

Journal of the Geological Society of Australia, 1982
Abstract The Dorrigo Plateau is covered by basalt, which is a remnant of the 18 Ma old Ebor Volcano. The centre of this volcano is an intrusion in the Bellinger Valley. The volcano was erupted on a palaeoplain of moderate relief. Subsequent uplift and tilting led to erosion of the Nambucca Beds, together with much of the volcano, and creation of a ...
