Neotectonics - Wikipedia
Neotectonics, 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. [1] The term may also refer to the motions/deformations in question themselves.
Neotectonics - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Neotectonics, a subdiscipline of tectonics, is essentially synonymous with active tectonics, and as such, is the study of contemporary motions and deformations of Earth’s crust including those of the very recent geologic past.

2019年6月1日 · Neotectonics and active tectonics are sub-disciplines of tectonics that study the process of recent tectonic deformation and tectonic geomorphic evolution on the Earth.
Neotectonics - SpringerLink
Nikolaev (1949, 1962) published summary works about the neotectonics of the U.S.S.R., in which he showed the general appearance of youthful movements of the earth's crust and distinguished a particular, neotectonic stage of the earth's development as distinct from the Alpine stage.

2016年1月1日 · At the macroscale, neotectonics describes the Neogene movements of the Earth’s tectonic plates (see Plate Tectonics). At the mesoscale, it describes vertical and lateral movements of mountain chains such as the Himalaya, and vertical isostatic movements.
Introduction to Neotectonics and Bioregionalisation
2020年10月2日 · With the discovery of mid-oceanic ridges, subduction, mantle flow, and dynamic topography, neotectonics has become the forefront of tectonic research. This chapter attempts to unite two fields, neotectonics and bioregionalisation, the latter being a result of the former.

Neotectonics - EOLSS
Neotectonics is the study of recent or active crustal deformation (rates, geometries, and kinematics), the forces that are responsible for the state of stress in the earth’s crust and its relation to processes at plate boundaries or in the interior of plates.
Neotectonics: Watching the earth move - PNAS
Recent advances in global positioning system (GPS) technology have made it possible to detect millimeter scale changes in the Earth’s surface. Using these systems it has been possible to detect relative motion between the large plates of the outer most rigid layer of Earth.
