Political maps help people understand the geography of the world. They are usually the first type of map that students are introduced to in school. They are also known as "reference maps" because people refer to them again and again as they have questions. Political maps are often printed on...
Convergence between two lithospheric plates can be rapid in such settings—10 to 100 millimetres per year—and the amount of displacement on the major thrust faults also can be large—tens to more than 100 kilometres. Thus, when a slice of crystalline rock from deep in the crust is scraped ...
Even if one believes that earthquakes are the true triggering mechanism of SSDS in a given case, the story is still incomplete. This is because earthquakes (seismic shocks) are induced by a variety of causes: (1) global tectonics and associated faults (i.e., mid-ocean ridges, trenches, ...

To facilitate the understanding of this parameter, values of 0.79 and 0.61 are usually used as the thresholds for measuring the approximation to a rectangle or triangle [60]. The Er indicates that the catchment may be affected by faults and other tectonic activities; a high value of Er also...
Amelung et al. [13] used InSAR technology to acquire the land subsidence information in Las Vegas; they found that the subsidence rates declined when the ground-water levels rose, and that the spatial destitution of the subsidence is controlled by both faults and clay thickness. Raucoules et ...
