|
| In both cases, the sequence of events started with extensional basin magmatism and culminated in emplacement of plutons, passing through basin subsidence. |
|
| On the island of Ikaria in the eastern Aegean Sea, a low-angle extensional ductile shear zone and two associated brittle detachment faults are well exposed. |
|
| The local bending of the accretionary prism generates extensional stress within the shallow accretionary prism at the transition zone. |
|
| The field evidence includes the presence of several longitudinal extensional folds such as a rollover anticline and drag folds that are related to normal faults in the area. |

|
| Rocks and geological structures exhibit a mixture of compressional and extensional stress effects. |
|
| It is not known whether the thrusts and reverse faults represent reactivated extensional basement structures or formed entirely during basin inversion. |

|
| The results may help to reconstruct the orogenic nappe structure that prevailed in the area before the region was reworked by extensional tectonics. |
|
| These basins were interpreted to contain thick Old Red Sandstone sediments and to have resulted from the extensional collapse of thickened Caledonian crust. |
|
| In other parts of the Selendi and Usak-Gure basins, the group contains only tilted sedimentary units due to the extensional tectonics in the region. |
|
| The structures are bounded by a series of extensional ring faults that exhibit similarities to salt withdrawal basins, caldera collapse features and impact craters. |
|
| It is proposed that evaporite dissolution led to the collapse of the weakly lithified overburden, and this deformed with a series of concentric extensional faults. |
|
| In geology, a rift is a linear zone where the lithosphere is being pulled apart and is an example of extensional tectonics. |
|
| General semantics extensional devices such as E-prime and dating have been shown to help students write measurable goals that combat IFD disease. |
|
| The influence of Laramide tectonics is apparent in the Colville Hills area where shallow detached wrench, compressional and extensional faults overlie reactivated deeper faults of crustal scale. |
|
|
|
| Another way to extend the notion of the extensional orientation is through grounding. |
|
| Cell coalescence refers to the rupture of the cell wall when serious extensional force is applied to it. |
|
| It is extensional shear, which generally has been associated only with twin-screw extruders. |
|
| These rocks were interpreted as tectonites, layered and differentiated bodies developed in an extensional environment, or within a rift in a continental cratonic margin setting. |
|
| An extensional fault may be seen as a crack in the crust that extends down at an angle to the vertical. |
|
| These areas often occur when the regional stress is extensional and the crust is thinned. |
|
| Subsequent extensional faulting controls reservoir development. |
|
| They also postulated recurrent convergent and extensional tectonics ranging from 2.0 Ga to 0.5 Ga from geochronological signatures of igneous rock suites. |
|
| In addition to studying the extensional tectonics of the North Atlantic, I became more involved with the modeling of compressional and extensional regions using a desktop computer. |
|
| It seems as though there are both intensional and extensional aspects to the nature: intensionally, it is fully in each instantiation, but extensionally the nature somehow becomes many on instantiation. |
|
| The structural pattern of the Tabular Jura, located between the Southern Black Forest and the Folded Jura, reveals a superposition of extensional Basement faulting and thin-skinned detachment in the sedimentary cover. |
|
| Immediately following batholith emplacement a large intermontane basin, referred to as the Maritimes Basin, developed under an extensional tectonic regime. |
|
| The extensional artist is the disciplined, self-challenging artist who is not given over exclusively to self-hypnotism auto-intoxication and self-congratulatory excesses. |
|
| Three of these events are compressional, and the last one is extensional. |
|
| General semanticists favor the extensional orientation with its cumulative and progressive scientific ways and its practical way of resolving disputes through testing. |
|
| The three-volume set surveys the geology of extensional basins including rifts, passive margins, and inverted extensional basins around the world. |
|
| The occurrence of 'wrinkle ridges' within the depression proves that compressive forces as well as extensional forces would be needed to create graben. |
