Tectonical-Geophysical Setting of the Caucasus
2012Many outstanding geologists such as G. V. Abikh, I. M. Gubkin, V. E. Khain, K. N. Paffenholtz studied the Caucasus. The Caucasus comprises four main morphological and tectonic units (Khain and Koronovsky 1997): (1) the Ciscaucasian plain (Scythian platform), including the foredeeps of the Greater Caucasus; (2) the Greater Caucasus itself, stretching in

Tectonic Setting and Landscape Development
2009The Mediterranean is the westernmost part of the global-scale Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt which stretches from Spain to New Zealand. The landscapes of the region have a long and complex history that includes both horizontal and vertical crustal movements and the creation and destruction of oceans.

The Tectonic Setting of the Southern Uplands
1986The pattern of fault-bounded sedimentary sequences established in southern Scotland can be traced for almost 600 km to western Ireland. The sediments forming this accretionary prism were deposited, in part on the floor of the Iapetus Ocean, and in part in a trench, either by longitudinal fans (mostly from the north-east) or by fans and mass-flow ...

On the Tectonic Setting of Submarine Slides
1982It is suggested that in the occurrence of submarine slides there is a geological control present in addition to the well-established control by “exogenic” agents, such as deposition, toe-erosion and pore pressure conditions. This is inferred from the existence of a principle of correspondence between subaerial and subaqueous phenomena based on the ...
