Both the kinematics and dynamics of topographic growth Tibetan Plateau remain debated, despite their significance for understanding evolution continental lithospheric geodynamics, climate, biodiversity in Asia. Topographic swath profiles reveal diversity high-elevation, low-relief plateau surfaces or “relict landscapes” throughout southeast Qiangtang, northeast Songpan-Garze-Yidun terranes east...

The paper deals with the suitability of using the morphostructural analysis of the digital relief model (DRM) for compiling a geological map fault network focused on brittle failure of the rock mass. Attention is paid to the description of the procedure of interpreting the individual outputs of the morphometric methods selected. An important role in compiling the resulting network of the rock m...

Passive margin escarpments are extensively studied around the world, and understanding their evolution continues to present one of the more compelling interdisciplinary challenges tackled by earth scientists today. Escarpments reflect the morphotectonic development of passive margins and can separate regions with different climatic histories, but the inferred rapid rates of escarpment retreat h...

introduction identification of active tectonic areas, especially in convergent zone are very important because of their potential risks. nowadays, there are several algorithms that are used for tectonic analysis; one of them is tecdem that is used in this research. in this study, using remote sensing techniques, geomorphometric analysis and fieldwork were conducted to analyze morphometric and g...

iran is located between two lithospheric plates (euroasia, arabian) and these two plates converge toward each other with a velocity of 25 mm/yr rate. shortening that produced from this convergence with makran subductin shows faulting and folding in zagros orogenic belt, alborz and kopedagh in north and sliding in sum strike slip faults with north-south trend in central iran. the nw-se trending ...
