[1] The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) define the western flank of the West Antarctic rift system. Cape Surprise, near the Shackleton Glacier in the central TAM, is the only location along the range’s >3500 km length where upper Paleozoic Beacon Supergroup strata are down-faulted to near sea level. Previous studies have inferred a range front master normal fault accommodates extension and rock ...

the volume and surface area of the coast is a function of basin water levels. recognizing the factors of coastal geomorphologic changes could have a pivotal role in planning and managing the coast. effective factors in the formation and evolution of geomorphologic factors such as geological, tectonic, paleoclimatic, paleoclimatic and sea level changes have been considered in this study and the ...

geomorphologic landforms associated with tourism and development has been considered by many researchers in recent years. geomorphologic landforms which have values and capabilities, considered in context of tourism, known as geomorphosite and are studied in geomorphotourism approach. in this paper, we used landsat satellite imageries, geological and topographic maps, data obtained by field obs...

The result of wind dynamic (capacity and potential) is transport of soil or sediment particles and subsequent formative desert landforms based on the severity of erosion or sedimentation. The Khartouran region, because of its geology, geomorphology and climatology conditions is a special place in the arid region on the closed basin of Dasht-e-kavir. It is evident that the ecosystem balance of t...
