Geomorphic Features of Paleoseismic Origin: Insights from Overheads

This article explores the geomorphic features of paleoseismic origin, including accumulated fault offset, coral growth, paleo-tsunami deposits, and rockfalls. It also discusses lichenometry, lithospheric flexure, Acadian clastic wedge, and the relationship between rock strength and depth.
