Inherited and syn-compressional salt-controlled structures in orogens are difficult to distinguish from compressional features because classical salt (halokinetic growth strata, welds) can be misinterpreted as shortening-related (syn-kinematic tectonic unconformities). In the Sivas basin Turkey, syn-kinematic diapirism entirely shaped architecture of foreland allowed development primary seconda...

Fluid release from dehydration reactions is considered to have significant effects on the strength and dynamics of tectonic faults at convergent plate boundaries. It classically assumed that production fluid leads increased pore pressures perturb a fault's stress state thereby facilitates enhances deformation. This important assumption has never been supported by direct microstructural observat...

abstract this survey accomplished for asessment and mechanism recognition of chenaran watershed landslide effective factors and its zonation based via lim model. primarily recognized effective factors, through studing and field survey and evaluated by landslide index method(lim) then based on their weight in model, landslide hazard zonation was done.then evaluated this model competence in zonat...

The Persian Gulf is part of an asymmetric foreland basin related to the Zagros Orogen. It has been episodically flooded for much of its history which are reflected in sedimentary successions. The evaluation of this succession from depositional trend view, in central Persian Gulf during Paleocene-Eocene, is the aim of this article. The sedimentary rocks physical characteristics effects on seismi...

In this research, petrographic and geochemical (major and trace elements) characteristics of siliciclastic rocks of the Mozduran Formation in the eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin have been carried out in order to reveal their provenance such as source area paleoweathering, parent rock composition and tectonic setting. Mozduran Formation is mainly composed of limestone and dolomite, with minor amounts o...

The Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97-5.33 Ma) may be one of the most significant periods sea-level change in recent geologic history. During this period, evaporite deposition throughout Mediterranean basin records a series dramatic environmental changes as flow through Strait Gibraltar was restricted. In first stage deposition, cycles gypsum appear shallow basins on margins Mediterranean. comple...

Strata-bound elemental sulfur deposits occur in different circum-Mediterranean Miocene sedimentary successions containing evaporites and high amounts of organic matter. It is widely known that bacterial sulfate reduction processes are the triggering mechanisms involved origin hydrogen sulfide subsequent native sulfur. However, most these successions, there controversy over whether formed basin ...

Abstract Extensive canyons, excavated into the margins of Levant Basin during Oligocene–Miocene, are interesting case-studies for canyon fills in carbonate settings. The Pattish Formation, developed along pre-evaporitic Messinian Beer Sheva Canyon Israel, was investigated using both onshore seismic imaging and field data. has three main facies fill (1) Subparallel reflections mimicking canyon´s...

Long-term usage of drinking water with excessive fluoride concentration (above 1.5 mg/L) is known to harm human health. Since the in shallow groundwater Weigan River Basin, China, exceeds this level, study explored fluoride’s sources and enrichment mechanism for basin. Based on information retrieval regional geological environment analyses, 47 sets samples Basin were collected analyzed. The res...
