Drainage anomalies as indicators of soft-linked deformation zones between neotectonic structural highs in the Precordillera, Central Andes of Argentina
Between 31°45'-32°15' S, the western piedmont of the Ansilta block in the Precordillera of Argentina has been uplifted in Quaternary times through folds, blind faults and faulted blocks that form discrete and evident areas of neotectonic deformation (structural highs). In between, subtle t...
