Subsidence rates in foreland basins decrease away from the orogenic load, and are generally higher than those in extensional basins. |
|
Distinctive rock types found on the westernmost nunataks around Hamberg Gletscher are interpreted as autochthonous Caledonian foreland. |
|
Their fleets of ships fought and won battles from the coasts of Kerry to Mizen's wild foreland, to the Mull of Kintyre. |
|
A foreland fold-thrust belt with a southwestward vergence formed south of the Mazar-Kangxiwar fault. |
|
In the study area, the surface geology of the foreland fold and thrust belt is dominated by the south Urals accretionary complex. |
|
There is a cliff top walk to the foreland along the path leading from the old inn near Countisbury. |
|
Local unconformities and deposition in the foreland basin and intra-mountain synclinal basins occurred in discrete phases. |
|
The western limit of intense Caledonian deformation is defined by the Moine Thrust Zone, beyond which lies the Caledonian foreland. |
|
Therefore, the Lewisian rocks from the Assynt terrane of the Caledonian foreland are an unlikely source for any of the sediment. |
|
Waves and currents sort these materials, and deposit them on a bar, spit, cuspate foreland, tombolo, or beach. |
|
Turbidite deposits and westward younging of limestones and evaporites record the development of the foreland fold and thrust belt during the Late Carboniferous Epoch. |
|
The early Carboniferous Northumberland Basin, NE England, is one of the northernmost basins that developed in the foreland of the Variscan orogenic belt. |
|
Membership of the new regime of the foreland and the low valleys contrasted with the reserve and even hostility of the mountain. |
|
A close relationship exists between land access to sea ports on the one hand and the maritime organisation and foreland on the other. |
|
However, if imbricate structures of folds are truncated by low-angle thrusts, the decapitated upper portions of the systems should be found, carried off towards the foreland. |
|
This cuspate foreland on Oak Island in Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is one of many coastal features comprising the park's 17 significant sandscapes. |
|
The strong interdependency between a port's foreland and hinterland is very apparent when considering the rise of containerisation and intermodality. |
|
The foreland basin forms ahead of the orogen due mainly to loading and resulting flexure of the lithosphere by the developing mountain belt. |
|
The basin migrates with the orogenic front and early deposited foreland basin sediments become progressively involved in folding and thrusting. |
|
When the convergent movement of the two plates results in continental collision, the basin becomes shallower and develops into a foreland basin. |
|
|
Thrusting of the Flysch nappes over the Carpathian foreland caused the formation of the Carpathian foreland basin. |
|
Coarse sediments from the continual uplift and erosion were later deposited in foreland areas as molasse. |
|
It consists of the rolling plains of the Kulunda Steppe in the west, the Salair Ridge in the east, and the foreland of the Altai Mountains in the southeast. |
|
The collision of those blocks also produced a series of peripheral foreland basins, which were the result of crustal deformation and the stacking of slices of basement rocks in the orogenic areas. |
|
The foreland basin was later overridden by and buried under the prograding Oligocene-Recent shelf-slope system. |
|
Work focused on the foreland basins, but in relevant cases, the inner regions of the Neoproterozoic belts were researched, obtaining new data on foreland evolution. |
|
Some aspects of the Caledonian geosynclines and foreland west of the Baltic Shield. |
|
The English channel was crossed on 27 March 1899, from Wimereux, France to South Foreland Lighthouse, England. |
|
The path follows the coast around the eastern tip of the Island at Foreland, then skirts the cliffs above Whitecliff Bay. |
|
North of the town, the Inn river leaves the Northern Limestone Alps and enters the Bavarian Alpine Foreland. |
|
The message was received by the radio operator of the South Foreland lighthouse, who summoned the aid of the Ramsgate lifeboat. |
