Sedimentary basin destruction inferred from the evolution of drainage systems in the Betic Cordillera, southern Spain

Article Abstract:

An analysis describing the evolution of drainage systems in the Betic Cordillera is presented. The analysis focuses on the Guadix continental basin, which was formed during the uppermost Miocene, the Pliocene and Pleistocene periods. The basin's alluvial landfill indicate an axial fluvial system and a pair of transverse systems. These systems suggest processes in the transformation of the basin from a sedimentary type into an erosional one with external drainage.

Active normal faulting, drainage patterns and sedimentation in southwestern Turkey

Article Abstract:

An analysis describing geological patterns of southwestern Turkey is presented. It is shown that large active normal faulting conditioned the geomorphology of the country's rapidly expanding region. These faults formed graben which extend 10-20 km across and exhibit assymetry. It is also shown that Neogene sediment rotation measurements imply relatively small degrees of extension.
