Backarc basin systems are important sites of extension leading to crustal rupture where development typically occurs in rifting phases (or stages) with the final successful stages identified by formation spreading ridges and new oceanic crust. The East Manus Basin is a young (<1 Ma), active, rapidly backarc complex tectonic setting at confluence oblique convergence Australian Pacific pla...

the study area is the rahmat anticline. this is located in fars province (sw fold simple zagros belt). the aims of this study are morphotectonic studies and structural analysis in several parts of area. for this purpose: 1) morphotectonic indices, drainage basin shape index (bs), mountain front sinuosity index (smf) and valley floor width – height ratio (vf) were measured by digital elevation m...

Topographic analysis, drainage network morphometry, river profile and spatial distribution of fluvio-lacustrine terraces have been used to reconstruct the evolution in Mercure River basin, a large intermontane tectonic basin axial zone southern Apennines. Morphotectonic study area is mainly controlled by poly-kinematics high-angle WNW-ESE NE-SW faults, which promoted development complex landsca...
