Full textGeomorphic assessment of a region is considered to be crucial in understanding the present day landscapeand forces that have acted and is currently acting on the ever evolving topography. This thesis explores the geomorphology of the tropical landscape of Sarawak, north Borneo through morphotectonic analysis of two of the largest drainage basins of the entire Borneo Island: the Rajang and Baram basin; making this work the first systematic tectono-geomorphic evaluation of the region. The island of Borneo is enveloped by thick rainforests, hostile rugged mountainous terrain with deep and steep valleys, and is characterized by high denudation rates since Miocene. The studied drainage basins flow across entire central and north Sarawak and drain a total combined area of ca. 75, 000 km². The first contribution to the field is by conducting a study on the presence of active tectonic forces that modify the topography through rejuvenation of major and minor faults. The analysis using basin-scale hypsometry, asymmetry factor, normalized channel steepness index and spatial autocorrelation techniques showed that the landscape has been rejuvenated and experiences tectonic deformation to present-day in the form of active folding of the fold-thrust orogenic belts of the Interior Highlands which form the backbone of Borneo. From the results, we highlighted the presence of relict surfaces of landscapes which were isolated at high elevations unable to balance a rapid uplift phase experienced after 5 Ma. We extended the study in order to identify the current stage of landscape development by conducting stream profile analysis which displayed an array of knick-zones and knick points devoid of lithological and climatic controls. Deep V-shaped valleys formed in the zones that demonstrated active folding of the highlands also revealed relief anomalies highlighted through topographic analysis. We showed that enhanced orographic precipitation following the rapid creation of relief has supported adjustment of the topography to a state of transience. In the next part of this work, we conducted swath profile analysis, minimum bulk erosion and channel steepness anomaly maps in order to identify the role of rapid incision in exacerbating erosion rates as a response to tectonic and climatic forcing. We show that there exists a coupling between incision rates, precipitation and channel steepness which shows a relation of direct proportionality. Extensive geomorphic and sedimentological field campaigns were carried out in order to substantiate our results and conclusions. The field work revealed the presence of uplifted fluvial terraces, waterfalls and cataracts corresponding to knick-points identified by us. Finally, we combine our results from the geomorphic analysis and stratigraphic field work in order to construct a conceptual model showing the geomorphic evolution of Sarawak, north Borneo

The neotectonic activity in the globe is responsible for important recent geologic processes controlling the landscapes evolution associated to episodic reactivation of zones of crustal weakness. Those structures make strong control for the processes, marking the major sites of strain concentration.

The Alta Mogiana Paulista region (Altinópolis/Batatais/Serrana) in the northeastern of São Paulo State was the target of geologic and geomorphologic studies directed to the local landscape evolution context. In the geologic context the region is inserted into the Paraná Basin domains exhibiting lithologies from Mesozoic and Cenozoic times. The studied area shows a simple structure of a great monocline dipping towards NW affected by normal and transcurrent faults responsible by the framework of the drainage and relief forms. In the Alta Mogiana Paulista rock fractures pattern predominate lineaments directed N-S and E-W and the NE and NW are less important. The principal geomorphologic mapped units were ample and middle hills, scarps, elongated ranges and residual hills inserted into the Basaltic Cuestas Province.

Full textIn Northeastern Venezuela, the tectonic provinces of the Serranía Del Interior thrust belt (high hills), the Monagas Thrust belt (foothills) and the Maturín foreland basin formed as a result of the oblique convergence between the Caribbean and South American plates since the Oligocene. GPS data show that post 12 My wrenching component between the plates is accommodated predominantly by the E-W strike-slip El Pilar Fault. However, evidence of active compression has been identified in the southern limit of the NW-SE dextral Urica Fault, specifically, in the Monagas Fold and Thrust Belt. In order to constrain the neotectonics of this area, this thesis presents a combined approach, which includes geomorphological study, seismic and paleomagnetism. In the Monagas Fold and Thrust Belt, the geomorphological study and the seismic interpretation were focused on five zones. From the foothills to the deformation front, these zones are: San Felix, Tarragona, Punta de Mata, Jusepín and Amarilis. These areas show surface deformations such as topographic uplifts, tilted terraces, folded terraces, faulted terraces, and drainage anomalies. The dating of the river terraces through 10Be and 26Al methods indicates that these terraces formed in the Late Pleistocene. The oldest terrace located in the Tarragona zone has a maximum exposure age of ~90 ky and the youngest located in the Punta de Mata zone of ~15 ky. From this dating, a minimum vertical deformation rate between ~0.6-0.1 mm/y was calculated for this area. Using the seismic interpretation of a 3D block, the surfaces of two unconformities (MMU and LMU) have been mapped. The age obtained for the LMU (~5.3 My), yield a Plio-Pleistocene uplift rate between ~0.3-0.4 mm/y, which is close to the vertical deformation rate calculated from the terraces dated. These similar rates seem to indicate that the deformation rate in the MFTB has not changed significantly for the last 5.3 My. The deformed surfaces observed in the field and in DEM images coincide vertically with the deep structures interpreted in the seismic lines. I propose that the deformation on the surface is linked to the Tarragona, Pirital, Furrial thrusts and the Amarilis Backthrust activity and to the youngest thrusts developed in the Carapita Formation. However, this surface deformation dies out near the city of Maturín, therefore, the neotectonic deformation is inferred to be caused by local tectonics. I propose that this local compressive deformation could have been generated by a horsetail termination in the southern limit of the Urica Fault which reactivated the oldest thrusts (Tarragona and Pirital thrusts) and deformed the post-Middle Miocene units until reaching the surface. In the zones where the El Pilar Fault mainly accommodates the wrenching component, block rotation is likely. For that reason, a paleomagnetic study was conducted in the Caripe and Bergatín blocks of the Serranía Del Interior where 27 sites were sampled in Cretaceous to Paleocene sediments. Statistics analyses of the components yield a negative bedding-tilt test, indicating that this component was acquired post ~12 My after the folding process in the Serranía del interior. The average declination indicates a clockwise block rotation of R = 37º ± 4º and a post-Middle Miocene rotation rate of ~3.7º/My in both the Caripe and Bergatín blocks. This rotation rate is probably still active. I propose to relate the regional clockwise rotation to the development of a synthetic Riedel shear system formed by the El Pilar Fault (master regional fault) and by the Urica and San Francisco synthetic Riedel shears

Sugestões sobre a presença de controle estrutural e tectônico na gênese destas e de outros elementos do relevo amazônico tem sido levantadas por diversos autores, porém poucos elementos conclusivos foram apresentados até o momento. Este trabalho apresenta, no primeiro momento, uma série de evidências de diferentes fontes mostrando controle estrutural ao longo do ria do Tapajós e em áreas de terra firme adjacentes. A metodologia utilizada, é inovadora por integrar dados geomorfológicos, geológicos e geofísicos (sísmica, magnetometria e gravimetria) obtidos sem custo e disponíveis para grandes áreas, o que é uma grande vantagem em uma zona de difícil acesso como a Amazônia. Trata-se ainda de uma abordagem pouco usual dentro da geomorfologia na qual encontramos resultados muito promissores. Os resultados mostram a influência de elementos estruturais na configuração do relevo amazônico na região do baixo Tapajós. É proposto um modelo de horsts e grábens limitados por lineamentos com direção ENE-WSW com expressão regional. Em seguida apresentamos uma classificação para o canal do Tapajós baseado em variáveis morfométricas extraídas de perfil transversal.

Abstract: The formation of the fluvial rias in the Amazon has a well-known relationship with the process of sea level transgression during the Holocene. Suggestions about the presence of structural and tectonic control in the genesis of these and other elements of the Amazonian relief have been raised by several authors, but few conclusive elements have been presented so far. This work presents, in the first moment, a series of evidences from different sources showing structural control along the Tapajós Ria and in adjacent land areas. The methodology used is innovative because it integrates geomorphological, geological and geophysical data (seismic, magnetometry and gravimetry) obtained at no cost and available for large areas, which is a great advantage in an area of difficult access such as the Amazon. It is also an unusual approach within geomorphology in which we find very promising results. The results show the influence of structural elements in the configuration of the Amazonian relief in the region of the lower Tapajós. A model of horsts and grabens limited by lineaments with regional expression is proposed. Next, we present a classification for the Tapajós channel based on morphometric variables extracted from transversal profiles. The classification presents three distinct sections for the Tapajós channel in the analyzed perimeter, here called Narrower Channel Reach, Lower Ria Reach and Higher Ria Reach. These reaches have statistical support and agreement with most of the s... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

O presente estudo buscou caracterizar a configuração e evolução tectônica cenozoica do GRL a partir de métodos que integram procedimentos em laboratório e trabalhos de campo, envolvendo Geologia Estrutural e Geomorfologia Tectônica. Esta bacia tipo gráben encontra-se encaixada na estrutura pretérita NE-SW do embasamento pré-cambriano, composto de gnaisse bandado milonítico da Unidade Arcádia-Areal, juntamente com ortognaisses e granitoides do Arco Magmático Rio Negro. Essas rochas estão intrudidas por diques de diabásio cretáceos de direção NE-SW.

Abstract: Ribeirão das Lajes Graben (RLG) was mapped at the boundary between Serra do Mar escarpments and Guanabara Graben, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The present study aimed to characterize the Cenozoic tectonic evolution and shape of RLG from methods which incorporate procedures in laboratory and field work, involving structural geology and tectonics geomorphology. This basin was developed on thrust-sheared precambrian NE-SW substrate, consisting of banded milonytic gneisses from the Arcadia-Areal Unit, along with orthognaisses and granitoids from the Rio Negro Magmatic Arc. These rocks are intruded by cretaceous diabase dikes with NE-SW direction. The sedimentary record is mainly associated with alluvial and colluvial deposits, extending 20 km long and 9 km wide, irregularly exposed and separated by intrabacinal highs. The drainage network and relief characteristics, added to the numerous and persistent lineaments, even along with the data collected in the field, demonstrate that the main features are associated to fractures. This elongated and narrow graben is delimited by NE-SW faults at both edges, in addition to NW-SE and E-W fractures which compartmentalize it. The RLG was formed due to recognized NE-SW normal faults, event related to Cenozoic Rift System of Southeastern Brazil generation process. NE-SW structures are expressive in the fluvial system, morphotectonic pattern and preferential erosion and sedimentation zones. In a local scale, field-recognized high-an...

Full textThe territory of Armenia was located in the collision zone between Arabia and Eurasia, and is the seat of active intercontinental deformations, which was attested by the many historical earthquakes that have occurred in this region. All these destructive earthquakes show a strong regional seismic activity, and therefore it is important to evaluate the seismic hazard associated with active structures that generates this seismicity.This study presents the results of the analysis of the active tectonics within the northwestern and southeastern extensions of the Pambak-Sevan-Syunik fault (PSSF), a major right-lateral strike-slip fault cutting through Armenia (NW - SE). Quantifying the deformations in terms of geometry, kinematics, slip rates and earthquake activity, using cosmogenic 3He, OSL/IRSL and radiocarbon dating techniques, reveal different behaviors between the two regions.Within the northwestern extension, in the region of Amassia, the PSSF bends to the west and splits into two main WNW-ESE trending reverse faults defining a compressional pop-up structure. We estimate an uplift rate and a shortening rate of 0.5 ± 0.1 mm/y and 1.4 ± 0.6 mm/y, respectively. This suggests that most of the ~2 mm/y right lateral movement of the PSSF seems to be absorbed within the Amasia pop-structure.Within the southeastern extension, in the region of Tsghuk volcano, the PSSF shows signs of dying out at the southernmost tip of the Syunik graben. A very slow NS trending normal faulting associated with a slight right-lateral movement characterizes the tectonic activity in the region of Tsghuk volcano. We estimate vertical slip rates, EW stretching rate, and right-lateral slip rate of ~0.2 mm/y, ~0.1 mm/y and ~0.05 mm/y, respectively. These results lead to the conclusion that the right lateral movement observed further north along the PSSF is mainly transferred within other active faults further west within the Karabagh (Hagari fault or other structures further northwestwards)

Full textThis study was focused on the meso-cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Domo de Lages region (south Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil), through the analysis of brittle structures affecting sedimentary and igneous rocks, morphometric parameters, drainage network and main geomorphological features. Located in the border of the Paraná sedimentary basin, the Domo de Lages is characterized by a great variety of Late Cretacic alkaline rocks, which crops out as sills and dikes cutting the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, and are associated with an uplift of hundreds to thousands of meters. These alkaline rocks are affected by brittle structures, mainly transcurrent and normal faults, indicative of Cenozoic active tectonics. In addition to the structural analysis, several morphometric maps were developed, as an aid to enlighten the evolutionary history of the region. Maps of hypsometry, slope, aspect, isobase surfaces, surface roughness, hydraulic gradient, lineament density and drainage density were derived from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission) Digital Elevation Models provided by NASA, and were complemented by topographic profiles, analysis of drainage network and lineament orientation. Results show that the dome has a elongated shape with major axis oriented NW-SE, defined by alignment of intrusive bodies and tilting of sedimentary rocks bedding planes, dipping radially outwards the center of the structure. Topographic analysis revealed the existence of a planation surface, preserved at 1200m a.s.l., wich would have been affected by NW-SE and NE-SW normal faults. A tectonic evolutionary model for the region was elaborated, according the following sequence of events: in the end of Cretaceous, a compressive NE stress generates NE-SW normal faults, which affect the basic rocks of Serra Geral Formation and controls the emplacement of alkaline dikes and the uplift of the domic structure; formation of transcurrent dextral faults affecting all rocks of the area, including the alkalines, with NNE-SSW oriented binary; development of a planation surface preserved at 1200m a.s.l. which remained probably until the Miocene; NE-SW extension, creating NW-SE normal faults that lowered and tilted the levelled surface and affected the drainage network; a last extensive NW-SE event probably happened, responsible for NE-SW normal faults seen mainly in the morphometric maps.

This study aimed to analyze the interrelation ships between geology, relief and hydrography of the area of Itapororoca sheet (SB.25-YAV-4-NO), at scale 1:25,000, with equidistance between the contour lines of 10m, in the state of Paraiba, demonstrating how there lief of the are a shows clear influence of structural control on the configuration of relief and drainage network. From this perspective, it is emphasized that the know ledge of geomorphological features is an in dispensable way for the elaboration of plans geared to various purposes, such as: engineering works, environmental issues, agricultural development, mineral exploration, among others. The integrated analysis of morphostructural peculiarities present in relief and river drainage systems, allowed to infer about the role of tectonic deformations that occur through structural efforts, revealing numerous morphostructural features in the sedimentary covers and the grounds of the Precambrian crystalline basement. The research was conspicuous by analyzing the qualitative and quantitative aspects of geomorphology and drainage network, with the aid of cartographic products and the application of morphometric indices. The development of cartographic material, essential for qualitative analysis, consisted in the confection of hypsometric, slope and geomorphology thematic maps, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and topographic profiles. The quantitative evaluation and neotectonics consisted of application of morphometric parameters of Slope/Length (SL), Valley Floor Width/Valley Height (VF) Ratio and Asymmetrical Factor (AF).The thematic maps and MDE were generated by specific software, based on data extracted from Itapororoca sheet 1:25,000 by manual vectorization, which allowed unprecedented detail of the geomorphological and hydrographic pattern present in the area. The results exposed several anomalies in the study area, for example, altimetric discrepancies present in the area of geological unit Itapororoca Felsic Volcanic Rock (northwestern) and Trays (northeast portion), indicating that the region was affected by faulting and compressive efforts that defined several anomalies, such as: anomalous rectilinear drainage patterns, lattice and associated subtypes; abrupt channels inflections forming orthogonal angles; isolated and compressed meanders; and morphostructural faulting with guidance compatible with regional tectonic structures in northeastern Brazil. Substantiating the evidence, the values obtained with the application of morphometric parameters showed that neotectonic events affected the drainage network of the study area. Thus, it is concluded that the combined analysis of the studied elements made blunt results about neotectonics performance that configures morphotectonic environments and drainage anomalies in the area of Itapororoca sheet 1:25,000.
Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar as inter-relações existentes entre a geologia, o relevo e a hidrografia da área da folha Itapororoca (SB.25-Y-A-V-4-NO), na escala de 1:25.000, com equidistância entre as curvas de nível de 10m, no estado da Paraíba, demonstrando como o relevo da área apresenta nítida influência de controle estrutural na configuração do relevo e da rede de drenagem. Nessa perspectiva, ressalta-se que o conhecimento das feições geomorfológicas representa um meio indispensável para elaboração de planejamentos voltados aos mais diversos fins, como: obras de engenharia, questões ambientais, desenvolvimento agrícola, exploração mineral, entre outros. A análise integrada das particularidades morfoestruturais presentes no relevo e nos sistemas de drenagem fluvial, permitiu inferir acerca do papel das deformações tectônicas ocorridas mediante esforços estruturais, revelando inúmeras feições morfoestruturais nas coberturas sedimentares e nos terrenos do embasamento cristalino pré-cambriano.A pesquisa primou por analisar os aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos da geomorfologia e da rede de drenagem, com o auxílio de produtos cartográficos e da aplicação de índices morfométricos. A elaboração do material cartográfico, fundamental para análise qualitativa, consistiu na confecção das cartas temáticas hipsométrica, clinográfica e geomorfológica, do Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE) e dos perfis topográficos. Já a avaliação quantitativa e a neotectônica consistiram em aplicaçãode parâmetros morfométricos de Relação Declividade/Extensão (RDE), Razão Fundo/Altura de Vale (RFAV) e Fator Assimétrico (FA). Geraram-se as cartas temáticas e o MDE mediante softwaresespecíficos, com base em dados extraídos da folha Itapororoca 1:25.000 por meio de vetorização manual, o que permitiu detalhamento inédito do padrão geomorfológico e hidrográfico presente na área. Os resultados obtidos expuseram diversas anomalias na área de estudo, como, por exemplo, as discrepâncias altimétricas presentes na área da unidade geológica da Rocha Vulcânica Félsica Itapororoca (porção noroeste) e nos Tabuleiros (porção nordeste), indicando que afetaram a região falhamentos e esforços compressivos que definiram diversas anomalias, como: padrões de drenagem anômalos retilíneos, em treliça e subtipos associados; inflexões abruptas de canais formando ângulos ortogonais; meandros isolados e comprimidos; e falhamentos morfoestruturais com orientação compatível com estruturas tectônicas regionais do nordeste brasileiro. Fundamentando essas evidências, os valores obtidos com a aplicação dos parâmetros morfométricos mostraram que eventos neotectônicos afetaram a rede de drenagem da área de estudo. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a análise combinada dos elementos estudados apresentouresultados contundentes acerca da atuação neotectônica que configura os ambientes morfotectônicos e as anomalias da drenagem na área da folha Itapororoca 1:25.000.

Full textIn SW Yukon – SE Alaska, the boundary between the Pacific and North America plates is characterized by a syntaxis at the transition between the Aleutian subduction to the W and the Fairweather – Queen Charlotte strike-slip faults to the SE. The relative motion is oblique to the main fault structures, and the area is marked by the Yakutat block collision. From the Chugach – Saint Elias mountains in the plate boundary zone (up to 6 000 m high) to the intraplate strike-slip faults, markers of the present-day deformation give information on its partition in the system.During my PhD, I first measure surface deformation using a dense GPS network, deployed up to 500 km inland the North America plate. After precise processing and corrections of transient effects in the area (postseismic and glacial isostatic rebound), a new residual velocity field is produced for the syntaxis area, from which I derive strain rates. Those data allow me to quantify the fault slip rates for Fairweather and southern Denali strike-slip faults, and to characterize a bi-modal deformation pattern: Along the plate boundary, the deformation is localized on large-scale structures (accretionary prism to the W, Fairweather to the E); In the syntaxis area, strain rates are the highest and the GPS data shows a diffuse intraplate deformation, similar to an indentor pattern. The Yakutat block seems to strongly drive the North America plate deformation.This indentor pattern induces strong lateral variations on the large intraplate faults: the Denali – Totschunda – Duke River system. In a second part, I realize a regional geomorphological study to characterize the role and slip rate of those faults. From very high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (~ 1 m), a detailed cartography is done. On the basis of fieldwork observations, I measure offsets of fluvial and glacial markers, which are sampled for dating. A dextral cumulative deformation is highlighted on the northern Denali Fault, where as all southern Denali is marked by vertical deformation. This study allows me to quantify new slip rates for the system Denali – Totschunda – Duke River, and to show the leading role of the Totschunda (~ 14 mm/a) and Duke River (~ 6 mm/a) faults, contrary to the Denali Fault (~ 1 mm/a) North of the syntaxis.The new tectonic model for the Yakutat collision provides an important case study for the understanding of indentor systems. The concomitance of a rigid-block deformation (to the West) and diffuse deformation (to the East), as well as the near-zero slip rate on the lithospheric-scale southern Denali Fault highlight the major control of boundary conditions and the structural heritage on the orogen deformation

This thesis investigates lithospheric dynamics of Earth's subduction zones and Martian tectonic provinces on multiple time scales ranging from short-term earthquake deformation to long-term tectonic loading. In Chapter 2, I use geodetic observations to constrain the postseismic viscoelastic deformation following the 1960 M9.5 Valdivia, Chile earthquake and quantify its stress loading on the rupture zone of the 2010 M8.8 Maule, Chile earthquake. Results of analysis reveal that the post-1960 viscoelastic process might have contributed to the triggering of the 2010 earthquake. Chapter 3 presents numerical experiments to investigate elastoplastic deformation and faulting in the overriding plates of subduction zones caused by the movement of subducted seamounts. Numerical simulations show that a group of normal faults would first appear on the seaward side of a subducted seamount, followed by a group of thrust faults on the landward side of the seamount. In Chapter 4, I use the most recent Martian gravity and topography data to constrain spatial variations in lithospheric flexural deformation for various tectonic regions on Mars. The effective lithospheric thickness is estimated to be relatively small for the plain regions in the southern highland, but relatively large for the impact basins in the northern lowland as well as for volcanic montes in the Tharis province. The regional variations in the estimated effective lithospheric thickness might reflect both spatial and temporal changes in the thermal state of Mars.

Full textThe Himalayan arc is one of the most active intra-continental mountain belts in the world. Over the last centuries, several major earthquakes (Mw > 7.5) have struck this arc. The dramatic effects of the Gorkha earthquake sequence in 2015 pointed once again the crucial need to improve seismic hazard assessment of this area.Geological explorations of the Himalayas since the late 19th century have emphasized a 2500-km-long roughly cylindrical structure, with striking continuity of main units and thrust faults. However recent geophysical and geological investigations have revealed lateral variations. The relationship between these variations and earthquakes segmentation along the arc remains poorly constraint. The maximum size and the occurrence probability of such earthquakes are still a matter of debate.For instance, the seismic behavior of Bhutan remains enigmatic. The present-day low seismicity rate observed in this area can reflect two opposite fault behaviors: an aseismic creeping zone or a zone of stress accumulation for future great earthquakes as the others parts of Himalayas. The main objective of this thesis is to bring new constraints on the deformation of the Bhutan Himalayas, at different space- and time-scales, through morphotectonic and paleoseismological approaches.The first part of this thesis focuses on the vertical deformation assessment along a N-S transect in western Bhutan and along the Main Frontal Thrust, which is the southern-most thrust in southern Bhutan. In the past three years, we have carried out three fieldwork campaigns to sample (1) frontal terraces to assess Holocene uplift rates, (2) watershed basins to quantify short term denudation rates (< 20 ky) derived from cosmonuclides $^{10}$Be and (3) hinterland alluvial terraces to quantify the Holocene incision rate. Frontal Holocene uplift rates obtained in Bhutan are consistent with those obtained in the others parts of Himalayas. Furthermore, our results reveal a variation in the geometry of the Main Himalayan Thrust between eastern Nepal and western Bhutan.The second part focuses on several paleoseismic studies along the west and central bhutanese Himalayan front. Different sites were investigated during three fieldwork campaigns. Detritic charcoals sampling and modeling suggest the occurrence of at least five surface-rupturing earthquakes during the last ~2700 years. These results demonstrate that the present-day low seismicity rate observed in Bhutan is not representative of the seismic activity at longer time scale. At regional scale, they also take part of a broader discussion on the probability of occurrence of a magnitude 9 earthquake along the Himalayan arc

Full textThe Bocaina Plateau is situated on the eastern flank of the Continental Rift of Southeastern Brasil (CRSB), in the highest portions of the Serra do Mar, reaching more than 2000 meters in altitude. This and the Campos do Jordão Plateau comprise the high blocks of crystalline massifs of Southeastern Brasil. The Bocaina presents a succession of NW-SE topographically decreasing low-relief plateaus (isolated plateaus), separated by deep valleys. The origin of the differences in altitude among these plateaus has been associated with (1) tectonic reactivation of ancient shear zones by normal faulting, (2) differential erosional dissection controlled by knickpoints, and (3) preservation of erosional surfaces of different ages. This study examines these hypotheses in order to establish the age, style and magnitude of the tectonic and denudational events that resulted in the current distribution of the isolated plateaus of Bocaina. Structural and geomorphological analyses have been carried out using a morphotectonic approach, aided by apatite fission track analysis and radiocarbon dating. Apatite fission track analysis is an important tool to obtain thermal histories and cooling ages, on scales of 106 to 108 years, and is commonly used to estimate denudation rates in basement blocks. Morphotectonic analysis was supported by digital terrain models and morphometric maps. The isolated plateaus are characterized by low hydraulic gradient, slope and relief. Tectonic conditioning in the accentuation of differences in altitude and individualization of the plateaus is evinced by clear correlation between brittle structures (faults and fractures), morphotectonic features (triangular facets, knickpoints, scarps, fluvial captures), distribution of main alluvial plains and drainage pattern. Dikes indicate distensional phases since continental break-up in the Early Cretaceous till the Paleogene. Stress regimes observed in Bocaina are compatible with the tectonic model for the CRSB during the Cenozoic. Tectonic and magmatic events in Southeastern Brazil played an important role in denudational processes as recorded by apatite fission track analysis in the Bocaina plateau. Corrected fission track ages for 15 samples range from 326±30 to 54±5 Ma, including a significant set greater than 200 Ma, the oldest such ages yet registered in the Serra do Mar. Ages decrease NW-SE from the continent coastwards, a trend also recognized in other passive continental margins. This pattern is perpendicular to the main structural grain of the Precambrian basement, suggesting important structural control. Contrasting ages within a single plateau and similar ages at different altitudes indicate complex regional tectono-thermal evolution, possibly related to the evolution of the CRSB. Fission track age distribution in the Bocaina plateau cannot be explained by the simple scarp-retreat model; faults must have accentuated differences in altitude among the isolated plateaus. Thermal histories show important cooling events related to continental break-up, Early Cretaceous alkaline magmatism and origin of the CRSB. The oldest fission track ages obtained in the Serra do Mar region (> 200 Ma) were found in the highest portions of the Bocaina plateau, where the landscape system is very similar to that of the Campos do Jordão plateau. These areas have probably been an important, persistent source of sediments for the Paraná, Bauru and Santos basins, for a very long time.

A reconstrução quaternária da evolução do baixo curso do rio Capibaribe está baseada em abordagens geomorfológicas, morfométricas e morfotectônicas, associados ao uso das geotecnologias, bem como na aplicação da abordagem relativa à tectônica sedimentar no município de Paudalho-PE. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é caracterizar a dinâmica fluvial a partir da investigação dos corpos sedimentares, que configuram elementos marcadores da paisagem, para entender os processos deposicionais da área e esclarecer a relação entre tectônica e o cenário estabelecido na drenagem, uma vez que, essa modalidade de pesquisa traz novas respostas para a compreensão da evolução recente da região. Para tanto, as amostras de sedimentos deformados foram coletadas em seis perfis e subdivididas em 30 “janelas” em depósitos de conglomerados e de linhas de pedras, sendo, após isso, submetidas às análises granulométricas, morfoscópicas e de difratometria de raios-X. Assim, a compilação dos mapeamentos de detalhe e analises sedimentológicas propiciaram uma modelagem mais precisa da área investigada. Os resultados permitiram evidenciar os seguintes fatos: o curso fluvial foi submetido a distintos graus de controle estrutural em escala regional, com a presença da captura do rio em uma direção de falha e brusca inflexão para o sul, trechos anômalos da drenagem e mudança em sua hierarquia; a análise morfotectônica permitiu constatar que as feições de knick-points, inselbergues, vales e cristas estão possivelmente sob o comando estrutural tectônico; os depósitos de conglomerados e de linhas de pedras apresentaram origem sedimentar alóctone, sendo o primeiro, com características fluviais, onde os grãos apresentam imaturidade textural, são pobremente selecionados, com padrão polido e translúcido, contendo seixos rolados e no segundo o aspecto principal é a evidência de clima mais seco. Esses depósitos sugerem interferência de controle estrutural e oscilação paleoclimática no seu arranjo deposicional e na distribuição espacial. Logo, as coberturas sedimentares e as feições morfotectônicas foram originadas em eventos distintos de basculamentos comandando a rede de drenagem e seu nível de base, assim como, a deposição dos depósitos, o que faz deduzir que o forte controle na estrutura física do relevo sugere reconfiguração tectônica.
Quaternary reconstruction of the evolution of the lower course of the Capibaribe river is based on geomorphological, morphometric and morphotectonic approaches associated with the use of geotechnology, and the implementation of the approach to sedimentary tectonics in Paudalho-PE municipality. The objective of this research is to characterize the fluvial dynamics from the investigation of sedimentary bodies that shape the landscape marker elements to understand the depositional processes of the area and clarify the relationship between tectonics and the scenery established in the drainage, since this modality research brings new answers for understanding the recent evolution in the region. Therefore, samples of deformed sediments were collected in six profiles and subdivided into 30 "windows" in deposits of conglomerates and stone lines, and after that, subjected to morphoscopic, granulometric and X-ray diffractometry analysis. Thus, the compilation of detailed mappings and sedimentological analysis provided a more accurate modeling of the investigated area. The results have highlighted the following facts: the fluvial course has been subjected to different degrees of structural control on a regional scale, with the presence of the river capture in one failure direction and sharp inflection to South, anomalous drainage passages and change in their hierarchy; morphotectonic analysis has allowed that the features of knick-points, inselbergs, valleys and ridges are possibly under the tectonic structural command; deposits of conglomerates and stones lines showed allochthonous sedimentary origin, the first with fluvial features, where the grains have not textural maturity, being poorly selected, with polished and translucent standard, containing pebbles and the second main aspect is the evidence of drier climate.These deposits suggest interference of structural control and paleoclimatic fluctuation in their depositional arrangement and spatial distribution. Thus, the sedimentary cover and the morphotectonic features have been originated in different events of tiltings commanding the drainage system and its base level, as well as the deposition of deposits, which makes deduce that the strong control of the physical relief structure suggests reconfiguration tectonics.

Full textCuestas are asymmetric landforms characterized by a steep slope along the plateau front and a gentle slope on its reverse, and they are interpreted as a relief formed by differential erosion of rocks. The São Pedro Ridge (Serra de São Pedro)/SP region, area with occurrence of juro-cretacic basalts (top of the ridge) and Triassic medium Cretaceous aeolian sandstone (scarp and glacis), is one of the most typical examples of the cuestas in the Paraná Basin. Although São Pedro Ridge is considered a cuesta, the geomorphological settings and the fluvial system (including the Lower Piracicaba River) of the area suggest a tectonic control on the landforms. Thus, the aim of this research was to verify a possible tectonic control on the São Pedro Ridge and Lower Piracicaba River landforms, emphasizing the Neotectonic influence. The hypothesis is that modern tectonics has a strong influence in the actual landforms. The results showed that the neotectonic activity in the study area is characterized mainly by sub-vertical strike-slip and normal faults WNW-ESE, WE, NW-SE and NE-SW, both with very small offsets and inconspicuous impact in the relief. The influence of the tectonic activity in the landforms is more intense in the fluvial system, controlling the relief dissection from joint planes, large fractures and faults, though modern tectonics is responsible for the control of the direction only of first and second order drainage channels. Neotectonics also controls the formation of triangular facets at the escarpment front of the São Pedro Ridge, faulting in quaternary fluvial deposits, anomalies in the longitudinal profiles of streams and changes in the direction of ridge lines and watercourses (river bends), as well as small block tilting which influences the formation and degradation of fluvial terraces of the Piracicaba right margin tributaries. These interpretations are coherent with the data set concerning the structures measured and materials characterized in the field, as well as with the information about the structural contour and geophysical data of the area. Despite the clear record of neotectonics in the São Pedro Ridge and Lower Piracicaba River region, the results demonstrated that the magnitude of the modern tectonic activity is small, and that the actual geomorphological configuration is more influenced by lithological factors, paleoclimates and the arrangement of sedimentary rock layers and pre-Neogene tectonic structures, thus refuting the initial hypothesis of this study.

The Serinha?m estuary is located in the south of Bahia state, about 110km from Salvador, within the limits of the Ituber? municipality, between parallels 13 ? 30 'and 14 ? 00' South latitude and meridians 38 ? 50 ' and 39 ? 40 'West longitude, ending up in the Camamu Bay. It is located on the coastal part of the Environmental Protection Area (APA acronym in portuguese) of Pratigi inside the Ecopolo III. Exist in this area a low level of development of human activities, compared with other estuaries from Brazil and over the world. At the same time, it was found a lack of environmental studies, such as salinity and tidal estuary. In this work we studied the behavior of salinity in the estuary of Serinha?m, starting from the understanding of salt exchange process between the river and the sea. The study was approached from a systemic point of view, considering the different components of physical and geographical environment, hydrology, climate, morphology, oceanography, etc., in the regional and local context in which it is inserted. It was divided into three stages; first a literature review and survey of initial data, following later by collection of salinity and tidal data during five campaigns occurred in April, July and December 2014, August and September 2015. The salinity?s samples were collected at 137 stations along the estuary, with an optical refractometer and a multiparameter device Hanna. The tide stations were placed on the docks of Ituber? and Barra Serinha?m ports, using first two rules of tide and in the second measurement, three prototypes of autonomous automatic ultrasonic digital tide gauges, constructed and electronically calibrated in the lab. Finally, we done the office works, where the results of data collected were processed and represented in a GIS environment. It was concluded that there is a difference in salinity? seasonal behavior of the estuary, and that the presence of extreme events such as "El Ni?o" and "La Ni?a" can influence the behavior of salinity. Four elements rules the salinity of the estuary, the morphotectonic that controls the relief of the bottom; the tributaries; the tide and rainfall. The tides were classified as microtidal in December 2014 and August 2015; and as mesotidal in September 2015, due to the influence of syzygy tides during the spring equinox. The estuary was classified according to the salinity as positive; according to the flow rate, as thoroughly mixed and by the movement patterns as well blended or vertically homogeneous. These results are expected to contribute to future updates of the management plans of APA-Pratigi.
O estu?rio de Serinha?m est? situado no baixo sul do estado da Bahia, aproximadamente a 110Km de Salvador, dentro dos limites do munic?pio de Ituber?, entre os paralelos 13?30' e 14?00' de latitude Sul e meridianos 38?50' e 39?40' de longitude Oeste, desembocando na Ba?a de Camamu. Encontra-se na parte costeira da ?rea de Prote??o Ambiental (APA) do Pratigi, dentro do Ec?polo III. Nesta zona existe um baixo n?vel de desenvolvimento das atividades antr?picas em compara??o com outros estu?rios, do Brasil e do mundo. Ao mesmo tempo foi constatada a escassez de estudos ambientais, como salinidade e mar? do estu?rio. Neste trabalho estudou-se o comportamento da salinidade no estu?riodo Serinha?m, a partir da compreens?o do processo de interc?mbio salino entre o rio e o mar. O estudo foi abordado do ponto de vista sist?mico, considerando os diferentes componentes do meio f?sico-geogr?fico, hidrografia, clima, morfologia, oceanografia, etc., no contexto regional e local onde est? inserido. Foi dividido em tr?s etapas, primeiramente a revis?o bibliogr?fica e levantamento de dados iniciais, posteriormente foi realizada coleta de dados de salinidade e mar?, em cinco campanhas nos meses de abril, julho e dezembro de 2014, agosto e setembro de 2015. As amostras de salinidade foram coletadas em 137 esta??es ao longo do estu?rio, com um Refract?metro ?tico e um aparelho multipar?metroHanna. As esta??es de mar? foram colocadas nos Cais dos Portos de Ituber? e da Barra do Serinha?m, utilizando primeiramente dois r?guas de mar? e na segunda medi??o, 3 prot?tipos de mare?grafos digitais ultrass?nicos autom?ticos aut?nomos, constru?dos e calibrados eletronicamente no laborat?rio. Por ?ltimo os trabalhos de gabinete, onde foram processados os resultados das coletas de dados e espaceados num ambiente SIG. Foi poss?vel concluir que existe uma diferen?a no comportamento sazonal da salinidade do estu?rio, a presen?a de eventos extremos como ?El Ni?o? e ?La Ni?a? podem condicionar o comportamento da salinidade. Quatro elementos controlam a salinidade do estu?rio, a morfotect?nica que controla o relevo de fundo; os rios afluentes; a mar? e as precipita??es. As mar?s foram classificadas como micromar?s em dezembro de 2014 e agosto de 2015, e setembro de 2015 como mesomar?, pela influ?ncia das mar?s de siz?gia equinociais de primavera. O estu?rio foi classificado segundo a salinidade como positivo; segundo a taxa de fluxo, como totalmente misturado e pelos padr?es de circula??o comobem misturado ou verticalmente homog?neo. Com esses resultados, espera-se contribuir para as futuras atualiza??es dos planos de manejo da APA-Pratigi.

A presente dissertação se propôs à investigar as implicações da morfotectônica na organização da paisagem na bacia hidrográfica do Rio Preto (RJ/MG), cuja localização corrobora para a análise de feições morfotectônicas entre duas unidades geomorfológicas do sudeste brasileiro, o Alinhamento de Cristas do Paraíba do Sul e o Planalto do Itatiaia. Diante dos objetivos traçados foram selecionadas técnicas morfométricas de aplicação sobre o relevo e a drenagem, representações cartográficas e incursões a campo, que conjuntamente à Fisiologia da Paisagem, em seus três níveis de abordagem, ampararam o entendimento sobre a o quadro morfoestrutural e morfotectônico presente no recorte espacial selecionado. As feições registradas em campo e os resultados coletados em laboratório apontam conjuntamente para a atividade neotectônica concomitante à dinâmica superficial da paisagem comum em regiões tropicais, que muitas vezes mascara feições de uma tectônica passiva sobre a paisagem. Resultados concretos alcançados revelam a neotectônica atualmente no Sudeste brasileiro, corroborando para feições paisagísticas morfotectônicas.
This dissertation proposes to investigate the implications of dynamic neotectonic in the organization of the landscape in Rio Preto basin (RJ/MG), whose location supports for analyzing morphotectonic features between two geomorphological units of southeastern Brazil, the Alinhamento de Cristas do Paraíba do Sul and the Planalto do Itatiaia. Before the objectives were selected for morphometric techniques application on the topography and drainage, cartographic representations and raids the countryside, which jointly to the physiology of the landscape, in its three levels of approach, bolstered the understanding about the dynamics showed this in the space selected clipping. The features recorded in the field and the results collected in laboratory point together to neotectonic activity concomitant to the superficial common landscape dynamics in tropical regions, which often masks a passive tectonic features on the landscape, but in many of the results it was possible to show that the study area is located in a dynamic tectonic framework.

Full textThe recent tectonic activity of eastern Friuli was investigated through a multidisciplinary approach. The study area, which comprises eastern Friuli Plain and the Julian prealpine border, represents the junction zone between the SSE verging front of the Southalpine Chain and the NW-SE trending strike slip structures of the eastern Friuli-western Slovenia domain. At present, both seismological and GPS data show that the 2-3 mm/yr accumulating deformation is released through the interaction among reverse, transpressive and strike-slip faults. Regarding seismicity, the distribution of earthquakes shows that most of the events are mostly located along the prealpine and alpine arcuate belt and at least two Mw > 6.0 events are documented: the 1511 Mw 6.3 earthquake and the 1976-77 sequence (Mw ≤ 6.4). In more recent times, the activation of the Raune strike-slip fault in western Slovenia caused the occurrence of two seismic sequences, in 1998 (Mw 5.6) and 2004 (Mw 5.2). With the aim to further explore the involvement of the active faults of eastern Friuli during the strongest seismic events occurred in the area, this work is focused on the recent activity of the tectonic structures. Following a multidisciplinary approach, the deep 3D-geometry of 4 main fault-systems were reconstructed by combining ENI seismic lines interpretation and hypocentral distribution analysis. Successively, a morphotectonic survey was conducted along the Julian prealpine border with the aim to detect the surficial anomalies related to tectonic activity. The collected morphotectonic hints allowed to define a NW-SE elongated zone of surficial deformation, highlighting the recent activity of the Colle Villano-N Thrust (CV-N) and the Colle Villano-Borgo Faris-Cividale trasnpressive Fault-System (CV-BFC). Based on the morphostructural results, two paleoseismological trenches were dug: the Fraelacco trench across the CV-N Thrust and the Campeglio trench across the CV Thrust. At Campeglio site, the excavated trench revealed the presence of paleoliquefaction features, thus suggesting that the area experienced seismic shaking. Differently, at Fraelacco site, the displacement of the Canodusso Subsynthem (21- 23 ka cal BP) allowed to identify two deformative episodes in the last 21 ka, with the latest likely occurred in historical times.

Full textVenezuela is crosscut by a plate boundary zone, this tectonic setting accommodates the relative displacements of three plates: the South America, the Caribbean and the Nazca Plate. This tectonic system is constituted of active strike-slip faults which have provoked several events of Mw > 6-7. Among these faults, this thesis focuses on the Boconó Fault and on the El Pilar Fault.The aim of this dissertation is to study fault activities on several time scales using a multidisciplinary approach. This approach, which combines morphotectonic, paleoseismologic and geodetic analyses, leads to clarify the deformation pattern. This knowledge is essential to the seismic hazard assessment.Previously to this thesis, in the Yaracuy valley, the tectonic activity of the Boconó fault was poorly constrained due to the lack of geodetic and geochronological data; although a part of this fault triggered in 1812 an earthquake of Mwi 7.4. Through 10-Beryllium surface exposition dating of two alluvial fans shifted by the fault, this thesis shows that the Quaternary slip rate of the fault ranges from 5.0 to 11.2 mm/yr. By comparing this rate estimated on ~ 200 ka with the slip rate estimated in far field with geodesy (~ 12 mm/yr), it can be proposed that the Boconó fault accommodates a major part of the North Andean Block extrusion. Velocity map of ground displacements calculated using SAR images shows the lack of aseismic slip along the Boconó Fault during the 2007-2011 period. The extrapolation of this locked activity since the 1812 event, implies that there is a slip deficit of several meters. Therefore, the Boconó Fault have to be taken into account in the regional seismic hazard assessment. A paleoseismological trench across the studied segment is also presented in this thesis in order to constrain this assessment. Three events of Mw > 6 - 6.5 have been recorded in this trench since 1300 CE, the last of these events is probably the 1812 historical earthquake.In the north-western region of Venezuela, the El Pilar Fault accommodates the whole relative displacement between South-America and Caribbean Plates (~ 20 mm/yr). After the last event in 1997 (Ms 6.8) the on-shore segment of this fault undergoes an important afterslip. Geodetic campaign measurements performed in 2003, 2005 and 2013 showed that this segment was still creeping (~ 12 - 13 mm/yr). This thesis presents an InSAR analysis performed with 18 SAR images spanning the 2007-2011 period. The velocity map shows that the aseismic slip is not uniform along the El Pilar Fault. Time-series analysis reveals locally a creep acceleration. This transient is characterised by a rate exceeding the rate of surrounding plate motion. Therefore, the El Pilar fault seems to be partially locked during several years and then undergoes transient creep during several months. This succession should last during the whole interseismic period as suggested by the low seismic activity and paleoseismological trenches. This creep showing spatio-temporal variations is probably controlled by the existence of serpentinites lenses and the hydrothermal activity, which are known to promote this kind of rheological behaviour

Full textWestern Mongolia experienced an exceptional intracontinental seismic activity during the first part of the XXth century, with four seismic events with Mw > 7.9, located on large strike-slip faults with a transpressive left-lateral motion. This historical seismicity has been qualified as a cluster, and paleoseismological studies indicate that this phenomenon might have occurred 3 to 4 ka ago. Although the eastern part of the Gobi-Altai mountain range broke during the eponymous earthquake in 1957 (Mw8) along the Eastern Bogd Fault (EBF), several fault traces affecting Holocene formations and presenting continuous fault length > 100 km have been documented on the western part of the range, while not been the purpose of quantitative studies.This thesis first gives an inventory of the seismic activity within the Gobi-Altai, through detailed mapping of the fault scarps which show activity during the late-Pleistocene, also with an analyze of the fault segmentation regarding to geometric and kinematic criteria. Secondly, some morphotectonical and paleoseismological surveys have been carried on, along with dating techniques as 10Be in situ, OSL and radiocarbon, which allow quantifying the faults slip-rates since late-Pleistocene, and paleo-ruptures ages during the Holocene period on the two main strike slip faults analyzed : the Valley of Lakes Fault (VOLF), and the Western Bogd Fault (WBF); preliminary data also allow quantifying the slip rates and the age of the most recent event along the Tsogt Fault (TF) and the Tsagaan Gol fault (TGF), respectively located in the westward continuation of the WBF and the VOLF. Moreover, systematic lateral offset measurements have been carried on along the faults traces, and especially along the 1957 surface rupture, where a statistical approach based on probability density has been applied in order to assess the average lateral offsets successively recorded by the landforms, and reveals that the slip distribution along the EBF on 3 seismic cycles. This suggests first that the slip distributions rather even along the rupture, and secondly that the slip related to the 1957 earthquake is of the same amount than previous major ruptures on that fault, for half of the main 1957 surface rupture. This approach of average coseismic slip assessment on several seismic cycles is promising, but still presents some inconsistencies, and we propose developments and validation perspectives.Morphotectonic parameters and ages of paleo-earthquakes reported in this thesis present a strong consistency with former studies along the EBF, with slow slip-rates (0,7 ± 0,2 mm.yr-1 on the WBF and 0,5 ± 0,1 mm.yr-1 on the VOLF), and significant left lateral coseismic offsets (2 – 4 m). Our measurements of slip rates indicate furthermore a distribution of the on-fault deformation from the EBF to the WBF and the VOLF, splitting the deformation in two branches, the north one reaching the TGF and the southern one visibly branches on the TF. Assessments of the paleoearthquakes ages show three possible clusters between the studied faults during the Holocene time, and one of them may break the three faults (WBF, EBF and VOLF), and seems as well to correspond to the cluster possibly identified 3-4 kyr ago. The fault parameters presented in this thesis allow computing the paleomagnitudes related to last seismic events along the WBF and the VOLF, ranging from Mw7.6 and Mw8, depending of parameters and empirical relations considered. Finally those fundamental data may serve as basic pattern for current seismic hazard assessments in Mongolia

Os crescentes usos e ocupação do meio e utilização dos recursos naturais têm mostrado a necessidade do desenvolvimento de estudos integrados dirigidos a uma adequação das atividades do homem com a capacidade de suporte natural do meio físico. Desta forma, este projeto objetiva, para a região de Pirassununga, localizada no centro-nordeste paulista, aplicar um procedimento metodológico que auxilie a compartimentação do meio físico, mediante o uso de geotecnologias e aspectos geodinâmicos, visando o planejamento do uso e ocupação da terra, com fins de definir a suscetibilidade natural à erosão e a capacidade de suporte natural do meio. Tais informações poderão ser utilizadas pelos produtores rurais e órgãos públicos no intuito de orientar a tomada de decisões quanto às medidas de controle para os problemas ambientais encontrados, para a recuperação de áreas impactadas, bem como orientações para o uso e ocupação sustentável da terra, reduzindo os impactos negativos. Com base nos resultados das análises de drenagem, do relevo, morfoestrutural, morfotectônica e da evolução paleoambiental (isobases confluentes) nota-se que a região apresenta uma grande densidade de drenagem, variação altimétrica e de classes de declividade, assim como um intenso fraturamento, o que gera paisagens de abatimento e soerguimento de blocos (horsts e grabens), altos e baixos estruturais deformados e altos e baixos topográficos intercalados, exigindo, deste modo, indicações de manejo específicos para cada área. A análise da evolução da paisagem, por meio das isobases confluentes, contribui ainda para melhor definir o fraturamento regional e o domínio de processos colúvio-aluvionares, formadores das associações de solos. A integração dos diversos temas desenvolvidos neste trabalho possibilitou a geração das cartas temáticas de suscetibilidade natural à erosão, indicação de áreas para preservação ambiental e áreas para destinação dos resíduos antrópicos, sólidos e líquidos, buscando a classificação mais adequada da capacidade de suporte natural da área. A partir dos resultados constatou-se que na região de Pirassununga predominam as suscetibilidades naturais à erosão baixas e moderadas, assim como uma alta capacidade de suporte natural, acompanhando as planícies de inundação atual/subatual e os planaltos muito baixos a médios. Merecendo atenção especial a porção leste da área, por apresentar capacidade de suporte predominantemente moderada e a porção oeste, por apresentar capacidades de suporte de moderadas a muito baixas, podendo ser utilizadas de forma restrita, requerendo, todavia, estudos mais específicos para melhor dirigir tal ocupação. Considerando ainda que, com a aplicação de técnicas inadequadas de uso, manejo do solo e disposição de resíduos, a suscetibilidade natural à erosão pode aumentar significativamente e, a capacidade de suporte natural do meio ambiente ficar comprometida. Desta forma, recomenda-se que os manejos, considerando as peculiaridades de cada local individualmente, sejam definidos em função das recomendações de profissionais capacitados em cada atividade, diminuindo assim os problemas para o uso e ocupação do meio físico da região.
The increasing use and occupation of the environment and utilization of the natural resources has presented the need for the development of integrated studies driven towards an adaptation of the activities performed by people with natural support for the physical environment. This way, this project has the objective, for a region of Pirassununga, located in the center northeast of São Paulo, to apply a methodological procedure that aids the partitioning of the physical environment, with the use of geotechnologies and geodynamic aspects, seeking the planning of the soil occupation use, to define the natural susceptibility to the erosions and the capacity of natural environment support. Such information can be utilized by farmers and public agencies in the intent orientate the decision making of the control measures for the environmental problems found, for the recovery of impacted areas, as well as in orientating for sustainable soil occupation use, reducing the negative impacts. With basis on the analysis results of drainage, relief, morphostructural, morphotectonic and the paleoenvironmental (confluent isobases), it is noticed that the region presents a great density of drainage , altimetry variation and gradient classes, as well as intense fracturing, which generates a landscape of abatement and uplift of blocks (horst and grabens), high and low structural deformation and high and low interleaved topographic, demanding, in this way, specific handling indications for each area. The landscape evolution analysis, by confluent isobases, contributes to better define the regional fracturing and the command of colluvium-alluvial processes, makers of the soil association. The integration of the various developed themes in this work enabled the creation of themed letters for natural susceptibility to erosions, indication of environmental preservation areas and areas for anthropic residue destination, solid and liquid, seeking the more adequate classification of the natural support of the capacity for the area. With the results, it was found that in the region of Pirassununga prevails the natural susceptibility to low and moderate erosions, as well as high capacity for natural support, following the current and not so current flood plains and the very low to medium plateaus. Deserving special attention to the east portion of the area for presenting support capacity mainly moderate and the west portion for presenting a moderate to very low support capacity, being able to be utilized in a restrict manner, requiring, however, more specific studies to better drive such occupation. Considering that, with the application of inadequate techniques of use, soil handling and residue disposal, the natural susceptibility to erosions can increase significantly and the natural support capacity of the environment can become compromised. This way, it is recommended that handling, considering the peculiarities of each individual location, be defined due to recommendation of capacitated professionals in each activity, thus decreasing the problems for the use and occupation of the physical environment of the region.

A paisagem na Amazônia tem mostrado um quadro geomorfológico evolutivo associado a condicionamentos tectônicos no controle da rede de drenagem, com importantes mudanças nos cursos dos rios associadas a sistemas de falhas no âmbito da Neotectônica. Esta pesquisa compreende o estudo da bacia hidrográfica do rio Apuaú, afluente da margem esquerda do rio Negro na sua porção média, a norte de Manaus, no Estado do Amazonas. Foi subsidiada por estudos estruturais e geomorfológicos apoiados em dados de campo, de sensores remotos e de datação dos depósitos aluvionares. Foram reconhecidos blocos desnivelados do relevo, com rupturas de declive (knickpoints) associadas e controladas por falhas. A rede de drenagem apresenta padrões anômalos dos cursos d’água, capturas, meandros e canais encurvados, alinhamento de canais retilíneos, marcando zonas de juntasou zonas de falhas. Os blocos controlam também a distribuição de terraços, paleoterraços e canais abandonados, e suas datações por LOE apontam para depósitos mais antigos na faixa de 53.000 a 62.200 anos, intermediários na faixa de 20.330 a 23.100 anos, e depósitos atuais. O quadro geológico-estrutural aponta para compartimentos morfotectônicos, controlados por falhas normais e falhas transcorrentes destrais associadas. As falhas normais condicionam blocos rotacionados, a rede de drenagem e a distribuição dos depósitos aluvionares, enquanto as falhas transcorrentes parecem balizar e controlar os blocos na porção norte e leste da bacia hidrográfica. Reconhecidas em campo, as falhas normais formam dois grandes conjuntos, orientados NE-SW a EW e NW-SE, enquanto as falhas transcorrentes destrais predominam com orientação próxima a EW e transcorrentes sinistrais NE-SW. O tratamento das populações de falhas para obtenção de eixos de paleotensões indica um evento distensivo NNW-SSE a NW-SE, interpretado como mais antigo, um evento distensivo NE-SW a EW, ao qual pode ser atribuído o ajuste dos blocos rotacionados, controlados por falhas NW-SE, e um arranjo compressivo NNW-SSE a NW-SE, responsável pelas falhas transcorrentes, ambos mais jovens. A associação entre as falhas transcorrentes destrais EW balizando os blocos abatidos e rotacionados controlados por falhas normais NW-SE promove o rearranjo da rede de drenagem e o ajuste da distribuição das coberturas superficiais, indicando atuação do regime neotectônico, decorrente da interação da Placa Sulamericana com a Placa do Caribe.
The landscape in the Amazon has shown a geomorphological evolution associated to tectonic constraints in controlling the drainage network, with important changes in the stream courses associated with fault systems within the scope of the neotectonic regime. This research comprises the study of the catchment of the Apuaú river, a tributary of the left bank of the Negro river in its middle portion, North of Manaus, in the state of Amazonas. Structural and geomorphological studies supported by field data, remote sensing and dating of alluvial deposits were carried out. Uneven relief blocks were recognized with associated slope ruptures (knickpoints) and controlled by faults. The drainage network has anomalous patterns of water courses, captures, meanders and curved channels, rectilinear alignment of channels, indicating fracture or fault zones. The blocks also control the distribution of terraces, paleoterraces and abandoned channels, and their LOE datings point to older deposits in the range 53,000 to 62,200 years, intermediate ones in the interval of 20,330 to 23,100 years and current deposits. The geological and structural framework points to morphotectonic compartments controlled by normal faults and associated dextral strike-slip faults. Normal fault constrain rotated blocks, drainage network and the distribution of alluvial deposits, while the strike-slip faults seem to delimit and control the blocks in the northern and eastern parts of the hydrographic basin. Recognized in the field, normal faults adjust into two large sets, oriented NE-SW to EW and NW-SE, while strike-slip faults predominate striking close to EW dextral and NE-SW sinistral ones. Fault population analysis to obtain paleostress axis indicates a NNW-SSE to NW-SE extensional event, interpreted as the oldest, followed by one NE-SW to EW distensive event, which can be attributed to the adjustment of rotated blocks, controlled by NW-SE faults, and a compressive arrangement NNW-SSE to NW-SE, responsible for the slip faults.The association between the EW dextral transcurrent faults controlling uneven and rotated blocks affected by NW-SE normal faults promotes the rearrangement of the drainage system and adjusting the distribution of surface covers, indicating actions of the neotectonic regime, due to the interaction of the South American Plate with the Caribbean Plate.

Full textThe aim of this study is to characterize the Plio-Quaternary tectonic deformations related to the Belledonne fault system (western Alps). The low deformation rates and high erosion rates in the study area imply that a multi-disciplinary approach.From the Bauges to the Vercors massif this fault system is composed of strike-slip faults that are the NE trending right-lateral strike-slip Arcalod fault, the NE trending right-lateral strike-slip Belledonne border fault, the NW trending left-lateral strike-slip Brion fault and the NE trending right-lateral strike-slip Jasneuf fault.The determination of the late Cenozoic stress states revealed that the modern stress field responsible for the Belledonne fault system strike-slip kinematics dates from late upper Pliocene/early Pleistocene and came after the stress field caused by alpine collision.Unclear and undated (but probably pre Rissian) offset morphologic markers are described along the Arcalod and Brion faults. Belledonne border fault trace is not determined suggesting that deformation is accommodated in a wide shearing band.The Jasneuf fault offset morphologies whom ages are supposed Messinian and pre Rissian. Fault slip rate integrated since Messinian would be of 0.13±0.03 mm/yr. Considering that this fault appears limited to the sedimentary cover and excluding an aseismic behavior, she can generate 5.7 Mw earthquake each ~500 years.Modern deformation in the foreland is studied in the Toulaud valley (SW of Valence city) where a late Hercinian fault cross-cut the Messinian canyon of the Rhône river. First results show that the fault offset vertically the canyon, attesting aof Plio-Quaternary tectonics along it

Full textThis study focuses on the active tectonics of the Doruneh Fault System (DFS) in the north-eastern part of central Iran. A combined approach of geological and morphotectonic mapping, fault kinematic analysis, as well as in situ-produced cosmogenic dating (36Cl and 10Be) allowed us to characterize the active kinematics and geodynamic role of the DFS in the context of the Arabia-Eurasia collision.The DFS comprises Western, Central and Eastern fault zones (WFZ, CFZ, EFZ) with distinct structural, geomorphic and kinematic characteristics. The WFZ is oblique reverse-left-lateral, the CFZ is pure left-lateral and the EFZ is reverse. Exposure ages of ~12, ~36 and ~100 ka have been determined for three generations of alluvial fan abandonment surfaces along the DFS. Combining geomorphic offsets and their related ages yields a maximum left-lateral slip rate of ~5.3 mm/yr for the CFZ during Holocene. The maximum length of independent seismogenic fault segments varies from ~70 to ~100 km that could produce a characteristic earthquake with a magnitude of Mw =7.2 to 7.4 and recurrence interval of ~750 years.We propose a geodynamic model in which the EFZ is involved in a NNW-trending dextral shear zone between Central Iran and Eurasia. This implies that the EFZ forms a complex right-lateral transpressional relay zone between the eastern and northeastern Arabia-Eurasia convergence boundaries. The northward motion of Central Iran relative to Eurasia is accommodated by shortening on NW-trending reverse faults, and is transferred northward via NNW-trending dextral faults

The Northeast relief was described by the Pediplanation Model. This action discards the theoretical basis of post-Cretaceous tectonic evolution of the landscape. Through this model the Massif Pereiro - MP, Borborema Province, was established as part of the Tablelands Area Residual Sertanejos. The present work aims to establish the post- Cretaceous morphotectonic evolution of the MP by geomorphological and geological mapping using Geographic Information System, Remote Sensing and dating of sediments by Single Aliquot Regenerative-dose (SAR). The MP is contained in the core semi-arid, annual precipitation of 600-800 mm / year. The MP is NE-SW, is limited by Shear Zone Jaguaribe (ZCJ) and Portalegre Shear Zone (ZCPa), the same attitude, and crossed by several other shear zones. These shear zones show evidence of brittle Cenozoic reactivation, mostly as normal faults and shallow crustal level. The Quaternary sedimentation around the MP focuses on fault escarpments in a general pattern cascade, where ages decrease from the summits of the steep foothills. The ages of 51 sediment samples indicate a correlation with global climate following pulses: Last Interestadial-UI, the Last Glacial Maximum - LGM and the transition Pleistocene / Holocene, while the latter focus on 18 of 51 samples dated. This study also finds evidence of a new quaternary basin, here called Merejo Basin. Through these results it is concluded that no evidence of post-Cretaceous tectonic evolution of morphological MP, as their retreat along the fault scarps, invariably following the trend of the shear zones. The erosion of cliffs in large time scale is controlled by weakness zones generated by faults on the other hand the erosion of cliffs in short time, with the formation of deposits and colluvial horizons pedogenizados, has climate control. It was also found that in the study area there is a preponderance of past and current tectonic erosion processes on the morphological evolution
O relevo do Nordeste foi descrito por meio do modelo de pediplana??o. Esta base te?rica descarta a atua??o da tect?nica p?s-cret?cea na evolu??o da paisagem.

O MP est? contido no n?cleo semi?rido, de precipita??o anual entre 600 a 800 mm/ano. O MP tem dire??o NE-SW, ? limitado pela Zona de Cisalhamento de Jaguaribe (ZCJ) e Zona de Cisalhamento Portalegre (ZCPa), de mesma atitude, e atravessado por v?rias outras zonas de cisalhamento. Estas zonas de cisalhamento apresentam evid?ncias de reativa??o fr?gil cenozoica, na sua maioria como falhas normais e de n?vel crustal raso. A sedimenta??o quatern?ria em torno do MP se concentra em escarpas de falhas, em um padr?o geral em cascata, onde as idades diminuem das cimeiras aos sop?s das escarpas. As idades de 51 amostras de sedimentos indicam correla??o com seguintes pulsos clim?ticos globais: ?ltimo Interestadial- UI, o ?ltimo M?ximo Glacial - UMG e a transi??o Pleistoceno/Holoceno, sendo que nesta ?ltima concentram-se 18 das 51 amostras datadas.

Atrav?s destes resultados conclui-se que h? evidencia de tect?nica p?s-cret?cea na evolu??o morfol?gica do MP, pois as suas escarpas recuam paralelamente ?s falhas, seguindo invariavelmente o trend das zonas de cisalhamento. A eros?o das escarpas em grande escala de tempo ? controlada pelas zonas de fraqueza geradas pelos falhamentos, por outro lado ? eros?o das escarpas em curtos espa?os de tempos, com a forma??o dos dep?sitos coluvionares e horizontes pedogenizados, possui controle clim?tico. Concluise ainda que na ?rea de estudo haja a preponder?ncia da tect?nica pret?rita e atual sobre os processos erosivos na evolu??o morfol?gica

Taoyuan─Chungli tablelands are located in the northwestern Taiwan, a transition zone between two different stress fields: extension and compression in the north and south respectively. The tablelands are composed of several different steps of river terraces developed by the paleo-Tahan River. The youngest terrace was abandoned around 30 ka when the headwater was captured by the Tanshui River that flows northeastward into Taipei basin. We use digital elevation model (DEM) in resolution of 40m and aerial photos to identify the tectonically influenced features on terrace surfaces. Two major groups of landforms were identified based on their orientations. The first group is roughly striking ENE and comprises four main linear scarps: the Shuanglienpo, northern and southern Yangmei, as well as the Lungtan-Hsinpu. They are obviouly related to two active anticlines (the Hukou and Pingchen), indicating a long developing history of terrace deformation. Considering the corresponding structures, we suggest that they may be created by asymmetric folds, i.e., a steep forelimb and a gentle back-limb beneath. One cross-section across linear scarps is reconstructed using the idea of the reactivated normal fault and shear fault-bend fold suggested by Dr. John Suppe. The result shows two asymmetric folds “Hukou” and “Pingchen” convergent to each other. This interpretation is also supported by the geomorphology data upon these structures. As a result of limb development, four main linear scarps can be apparently explained as fold scarps, which is different from the previous interpretation that the southern Yangmei linear scarp is a fault scarp created by the supposed Hukou fault. The second group is only distributed in the southern area of these tablelands. It is oriented WNW but relatively discontinuous. Here we found out not only linear scarps but also some complicated landforms such as pressure ridges, linear valleys, linear scarps, as well as beheaded rivers. By these features, we suggest two right-lateral faults, the western one inversed from the pre-orogeny normal fault, while the eastern one is a tear fault. The total slip of these structures is larger than 1 km base on surface observations and structure interpretations. However, due to the lack of age control in this area, so far the long-term activities of these structures remain unknown. Nevertheless, the preliminary geodetic survey on the youngest surface indicates that the Hukou anticline is still active in the last 30 ka.
