Flexural unloading and uplift along the Cbte d'Ivoire-Ghana Transform Margin, equatorial Atlantic
Recem Ocean Drilling Program sampling of the Ctte d'Ivoire-Ghana margin of West Africa provides for the first time the opportunity to study the development of a marginal ridge that formed along a sheared passive margin adjacent to the continent-ocean transition after the end of intmcontinemal wrenching. We model its evolution using a two dimensional flexural backstripping technique. The model i...
متن کاملFlexural Rotation of Normal Faults
A conceptual model is proposed for the generation of low-angle normal faults in Metamorphic Core Complexes. The model is based on three assumptions: (1) the isostatic response to normal fault motion is of regional extent; (2) when a fault segment is significantly rotated from the optimum angle of slip, relative to the crustal stress field, it is replaced by a new planar fault oriented in the op...
متن کاملLate Cenozoic uplift along the northern Dead Sea transform in Lebanon and Syria
Evidence of long-term, late Cenozoic uplift, as well as strike-slip faulting, is revealed by topographic and geological features along the northern 500 km of the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) – the transform boundary between the Arabian and African plates in the eastern Mediterranean region. Macro-geomorphic features are studied using a new, high-resolution (20 meter pixel) digital elevation mod...
متن کاملDetection of power oscillation and simultaneous faults using Clark transform
Distance relays are widely used to protect transmission lines. Sometimes, in these lines due to the occurrence of the oscillation of the power, the impedance calculated in the distance relay enters into its functional zones and leads to the cutting off of the lines. This issue can cause global power outages. Accordingly, in this paper, a Clark-based method for detecting the oscillation of power...
متن کاملLarge Scale Terrain Generation from Tectonic Uplift and Fluvial Erosion
At large scale, landscapes result from the combination of two major processes: tectonics which generate the main relief through crust uplift, and weather which accounts for erosion. This paper presents the first method in computer graphics that combines uplift and hydraulic erosion to generate visually plausible terrains. Given a user-painted uplift map, we generate a stream graph over the enti...
