Debate about the relative roles of catastrophic v. continuous processes of landform evolution is as old as the discipline of Earth Science itself. Over the last 10 years or so, research in the Earth Sciences has focussed strongly on the Earth’s surface and particularly in terms of quantifying rates of processes. This research parallels developments in geomorphology and sedimentology in the quan...

the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

Geomorphic parameters are very helpful as they can quickly explain the concerned area, which is going through a tectonic adjustment. For this purpose, four indices were applied to examine active tectonics in Quetta-Ziarat region. These include: sub-basins asymmetry (Af), transverse topography (T-Factor), hypsometric integral (HI) and stream-length gradient (SL). The calculation of three denoted...

Abstract. Using digital educational resources (DERs) in science education is an effective way of promoting students' content knowledge complex natural processes. This work presents the usage resource CreativeLab_Sci&Math | Plate Tectonics, designed for exploring PhET™ Tectonics simulator, context pre-service teachers (PSTs) Portugal. The performance PSTs was analysed based on five tasks...
