Abstract. The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER), where active continental rifting creates specific conditions for landslide formation, provides a prospective area to study the influence of tectonics, lithology, geomorphology, and climate on formation. New structural morphotectonic data from central (CMER) southern (SMER) support model progressive change in regional extension NW–SE recent E(ENE)–W(WSW) ...

the presence of radon in drinking water causes health risks associated with exposure from both inhalation and ingestion. since the studies show that faults near the water resources have a critical effect on the concentration of radon, kouhbanan active fault zone, to find water resources  with high radon concentration was chosen for the following investigation. water samples were taken from all ...

Tectonic inversion of passive margins is a common but poorly documented process preceding subduction inception. We perform here comprehensive land-sea experimental modeling this key by reproducing the morphotectonic and sedimentary evolution central Algerian margin over last 6 Myr. Our approach based on scaled analog models integrating interactions between crustal shortening surface processes, ...

We describe the morphology of a large and complex graben structure in the western Thauma-sia region (the " Thaumasia graben " [1] or TG). We consider possible fault geometries, determine extension , and discuss shortly possible models for its origin. Background: Situated at the western border of the Thaumasia plateau, the TG is one of the most prominent fault-bounded structures on Mars. It is ~...

Abstract A new analysis of high-resolution multibeam and seismic reflection data, collected during several oceanographic expeditions starting from 1999, allowed us to compile an updated morphotectonic map the North Anatolian Fault below Sea Marmara. We reconstructed kinematics geometries individual fault segments, active at time scale 10 ka, interval which includes earthquake cycles, taking as ...
