The Khushab anticline is located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt in the Lurestan. This anticline is affected by the Balarud fault zone, which is a part of Mountain Front Fault between the Lurestan and Dezful Embayment zones. Based on the measurement of the elements of fold style, this anticline is analyzed. According to these measurements, this anticline is a noncylindrical, asymmetrical and dis...

in this study, the quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of saeedabad-chai drainage basin, are assessed using geomorphic approach. this drainage basin is located in northern slope of sahand mountain. north tabriz fault (ntf), is passing from the saeedabad-chai basin. variation in the morphology of mountain front provied the basis for geomorphic assessment of tectonic activity. therefore,...

alteration was ohserved along minor subsidiary faults in the northwest and northeast parts of Iron Range Mountain. The main Iron Range deposit consists of the segment of the ault containing the richest iron mineralization and underlies the northern half of the ridge which makes up Iron Range Mountain. This area extends northward onto the Grassy Mountain sheet (82FB). The area of m...

A 26-year-old Korean male started to climb Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan (3776 m above sea lever [ASL]). He began coughing at the seventh station of the mountain (2700 m ASL) but continued to climb. When he reached the top of the mountain, he felt dyspnea, chest pain and headache. Even after descending the mountain, these symptoms did not improve. On arriving back at the seventh stati...

There are countless high mountains in Tibet, and ancient Tibetans believed that gods resided on every one of them. The worship of mountain gods was one of the most important forms of nature worship among ancient Tibetans; it was fundamental to their entire belief system. Each mountain god possessed his own territory and was in charge of particular affairs. Around each god sprang up myths, legen...

About 12 miles to the northeast of Carrizozo lies the “ghost town” of White Oaks. This once thriving mining community rests in a small valley surrounded by three wrinkled and rounded mountain peaks: the remains of a ancient cluster of laccoliths (see attached Figure 1). To the northwest lies Lone Mountain with its associated peak, Baxter Mountain, while to the southeast lies Patos Mountain and ...

Both habitat patch size and structure affect the abundance and occurrence of species and thereby can affect the ecology and evolution of species interactions. Here we contrast the level of seed predation and selection exerted by Common Crossbills (Loxia curvirostra complex) and red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in the extensive mountain pine (Pinus uncinata) forests in the Pyrenees with their le...

We present vertical velocity results for the continuous GPS network located in the region of Yucca Mountain, southern Nevada. Based on local and regional tectonics, we hypothesize that vertical velocities at Yucca Mountain are likely to be very small. Data from the network, from May 1999 to January 2003, was processed using the GIPSY-OASIS II software, with ambiguities resolved on a line-by-lin...
