Abstract:Intraplate settings far from tectonic plate boundaries are normally thought to be tectonically inactive regions in which the landscape evolves via the slow downcutting of fluvial systems. When identified, tectonic reactivations are thought to be of too low an amplitude and not cause any change in the landscape. However, in the absence of datable markers of tectonic deformation, the landscape can be used as a passive marker of intraplate tectonic activity. In this study, we investigate the northern boundary of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
