Nettettive tectonics. The mountain front sinuosity is a chain of mountains located on the front (Keller and Pinter, 1996). This is deined as: Smf = Lmf Ls..... (1) where: • Lmf is a length of the bottom fronts of the mountain / valley; • Ls is the length of mountain fronts in a straight line. The low Smf value (1 to 1.7) is related to Nettet21. jun. 2013 · Mountain-Front Sinuosity index reflects the balance between the tendency of erosion to produce an irregular or sinuous mountain front and active …

Nettet27. mai 2024 · In addition, Selçuk (Reference Selçuk 2016) has reported that the geomorphic indices of mountain front sinuosity and valley morphology can reflect the high-activity tectonics along the fault lineaments of eastern Anatolia. Benbakhti et al. (Reference Benbakhti, Maouche, Belhai, ... NettetIn active mountain fronts, uplift caused erosional processes with high rate and as a result, yielding straight fronts with low values of “Smf”. In the low active area, erosional processes generate sinuous and irregular fronts with high values of “Smf”. Mountain front sinuosity index “Smf” ( [9] is defined as: Smf = Lmf / Ls (3) rail link trolley

NettetWestern Anatolia is one of the most rapidly extending and seismically active regions in the world. The circa N-S extension since the Early Miocene caused the formation of E-W trending major grabens and intervening horsts, having earthquake potentials Nettet18. feb. 2024 · The mountain front sinuosity index (Smf) is used to clarify the interaction between erosion processes and tectonic actions. Erosive processes tend to produce more sinuous mountain fronts through rivers and streams, whereas active tectonics result in straight fronts, often associated with active geological structures [63,64]. Nettet21. jun. 2013 · where L mf is the length of the mountain front along the mountain-piedmont junction and L s is the straight-line length of the mountain front. Mountain-Front Sinuosity index reflects the balance between the tendency of erosion to produce an irregular or sinuous mountain front and active tectonics that tends to produce a … rail lines affected by strike
