    Tectonic Geomorphology of the Luke Air Force Range, Arizona

    Arizona Geological Society Digest, Volume XII, 1980 63 Tectonic Geomorphology of the Luke Air Force Range, Arizona by William C. Tucker, Jr.1 Abstract In arid and semiarid regions the relative rates of tectonic activity and the approximate age of the last major tectonic pulse can be ascertained by analyzing the landforms of the mountain fronts and their adjacent piedmonts. Tectonic activity triggers a change in the base level of fluvial systems that causes the development of a characteristic suite of land­ forms. It is these landform characteristics that are examined in making a tectonic geomor­ phic analysis of an area. The Luke Air Force Range, an Air Force missile and gunnery training range in south­ western Arizona, is an area of typical basin-and-range topography of generally linear mountain ranges separated by broad, flat valleys. While overall the ranges are quite linear, the mountain fronts are, for the most part, highly sinuous, pedimented, and lacking a thick accumulation of recent alluvial material on the piedmont. A tectonic geomorphic analysis of the Luke Air Force Range shows that the area has been almost entirely free of tectonic activity for at least the Holocene and Pleistocene epochs and probably for part of the Pliocene. A few mountain-front segments show signs of slight tec­ tonic activity during the Pleistocene. One mountain- front segment displays landforms indica­ tive of tectonism continuing into the Holocene. Introduction The major portion of the basin-and- range tectonism can be dated with fair reliability us­ Southwestern Arizona has had a long history ing the volcanic rocks and their relationship to of tectonic and igneous activity .
