Neotectonics - Wikipedia
WebNeotectonics, a subdiscipline of tectonics, is the study of the motions and deformations of Earth's crust (geological and geomorphological processes) that are current or recent in geologic time. The term may also refer to the motions/deformations in question themselves.
Neotectonics - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WebNeotectonic processes formed the modern tectonic structure and govern the seismicity, which is one of the main, probably the most important trigger of large-scale slope failure in the Central Asian region with arid climate.

WebJan 1, 2016 · Neotectonics is the study of “young” tectonic movements, subsequent to the establishment of the contemporary stress (or seismotectonic) regime in the area of study. This means that neotectonics covers the tectonics of currently active structures, as well as some Neogene structures that may no longer be active.
Neotectonics: LIAG
WebMovements within the Earth’s crust that took place in the recent past or that are currently taking place are referred to as neotectonic processes. Faults are the particular focus of geoscientific investigations. At faults, geological units are shifted vertically and horizontally.
Neotectonics | Journal of the Geological Society
WebThe study of neotectonics is carried out by workers from a wide variety of disciplines, including structural geology seismology, regional geophysics, geomorphology and engineering geology. Landsat MSS imagery is a particularly effective tool for the investigation of neotectonic structures.
