Tectonic setting, recognition and hydrocarbon reservoir potential of fan-delta deposits.
Vertical precipices in cohesive soil may be briefly created by tectonic processes, but weathering and soil erosion should quickly smear these out.
However, tectonic/magmatic events exerted the most profound influence.
In conclusion, the pluton evolution appears to have been controlled by both magma pressure and flow, and by the tectonic stress and solid state deformation.
Eleven chapters that concisely inform and define the modern approaches to tectonic geomorphology.
The book is structured by subdivision into igneous activity characteristic of different tectonic environments.
As a result, one can reconstruct the tectonic evolution, from subduction to collision, by comparing the southern section with the northern one.
Once initiated such a complementary system of uplift and subsidence is probably self-sustaining for long periods of time in the absence of major tectonic disturbance.
