Neotectonics - Wikipedia
网页Neotectonics, a subdiscipline of tectonics, is the study of the motions and deformations of Earth's crust (geological and geomorphological processes) that are current or recent in geologic time. [1] The term may also refer to the motions/deformations in …
Neotectonics - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Neotectonics, a subdiscipline of tectonics, is essentially synonymous with active tectonics, and as such, is the study of contemporary motions and deformations of Earth’s crust including those of the very recent geologic past. From: Treatise on Geomorphology (Second Edition), 2022. About this page.
Neotectonics, active tectonics and earthquake geology： …
网页2019年6月1日 · Neotectonics and active tectonics are the main geological processes shaping present-day geomorphology as well as natural evolutionary processes that form human living space including the formation of strongly uplifting mountains and continuous rifting grabens or valleys. On-going tectonism brings …
Neotectonics - SpringerLink
网页Neotectonic movements have been reported not only in disturbing orogenic regions, but also in “quiet” regions of shields and platforms where they are manifested by both major and relatively minor structures (arches, synclines, domes, troughs, faults, etc.).
Neotectonics, active tectonics and earthquake geology： …
网页2019年6月1日 · Neotectonics and active tectonics are sub-disciplines of tectonics that study the process of recent tectonic deformation and tectonic geomorphic evolution on the Earth. The time scale of neotectonics research is closely related to the geodynamics of a specific region; it typically concerns geological processes at time scales from Ma …
Neotectonic Movement - SpringerLink
网页2019年11月11日 · A neotectonic movement is a recent crustal movement. The term ‘neotectonic movement’ was first proposed by Richarter in 1932 and Krans in 1933, and it was later systematized by Obruchev in 1948 to become a branch of geology. Scientists have several interpretations of the time of neotectonic movements.
Neotectonics - SpringerLink
网页2016年1月1日 · Neotectonic studies seek to measure the rate and direction of crustal movement at all scales, either as relative or absolute motions. Prior to the 1970s, almost all measurements were of relative motion. An example is using the offsets of landforms across faults or folds to measure the fault slip amount …
Neotectonics and long-term seismicity in Europe and the Mediterranean ...
网页2015年6月8日 · We present a neotectonic model of ongoing lithosphere deformation and a corresponding estimate of long-term shallow seismicity across the Africa-Eurasia plate boundary, including the eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean region, and continental Europe.
Neotectonics | Journal of the Geological Society
网页The study of neotectonics is carried out by workers from a wide variety of disciplines, including structural geology seismology, regional geophysics, geomorphology and engineering geology. Landsat MSS imagery is a particularly effective tool for the investigation of neotectonic structures.
Neotectonic Deformation in Central Eurasia: A Geodynamic …
网页2017年11月12日 · Here we explore the neotectonic deformation of all of central Eurasia, including both collision zones and the links between them. We use a thin-spherical sheet approach in which lithosphere strength is calculated from …
