ABSTRACT The geological and tectonic background of the Sabalan area in NW Iran its present-day surface processes make it ideal for examining effects shaping Earth's crust. As a result intense distribution pre-Quaternary Quaternary structures (e.g., faults, joints folds), most drainage basins southern central parts study have developed under tectonic-dominated conditions, whereas erosional are g...

In the western Anatolia, tectonic regime transitioned from crustal shortening to extension during Late Cenozoic time and evidence of this event was imprinted on basement lithologies N-S E-W oriented two distinct basin sub-types. Here, we examined exhumation mechanism Menderes massif that forms these basins a different perspective. The overlying rock types were re-evaluated based new has potenti...

Evidence of long-term, late Cenozoic uplift, as well as strike-slip faulting, is revealed by topographic and geological features along the northern 500 km of the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) – the transform boundary between the Arabian and African plates in the eastern Mediterranean region. Macro-geomorphic features are studied using a new, high-resolution (20 meter pixel) digital elevation mod...

Abstract. We studied the Gioia Sannitica active normal fault (GF) along southern Matese (SMF) system in Apennines of Italy detail. The current activity and its potential to produce strong earthquakes have been underestimated so far are now defined here. Precise mapping GF trace on a 1:20 000 geological map point line data geometry, kinematics, slip rate faults forming SMF made available electro...

the zagros fold- thrust belt as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt, is one of the most active continental collision zones on the earth, which extends from the tarus mountains in south eastern turkey to the minab fault in the east of the strait of hormoz in southern iran. structurally, its formation is related to the continuing convergent movement between the arabian plate to the southwes...

The present-day Aegean tectonic configuration is marked by the interplay between Hellenic slab rollback and Anatolian extrusion, explaining formation of extensional basins dextral strike-slip faults. We aim to constrain middle Miocene activity normal faults in Central Greece with structural analysis low-temperature data. show that onshore are controlled both NW-striking NE-striking E-striking d...
