| The Wallacean area has continued to be tectonically active with islands appearing and changing size. |
|
| The latter is a tectonically active environment, where modern sedimentation is overwhelming the shelf. |
|
| But close up, the building is clearly much more substantial and tectonically satisfying than any temporary exhibition pavilion. |
|
| Consequently, Chalk should not be perceived as merely a thick pelagic ooze deposited in a tectonically quiescent period. |
|
| Also, what did the world look like during the time of the Andrewsarchus, plate tectonically? |
|
| In tectonically deformed regions, the most obvious stratification may be cleavage surfaces. |
|
| This characteristic of the proposed scheme could make it suitable for less tectonically stable parts of the world provided enclaves of suitably thick crust are available. |
|
| In addition, the survey is expected to detect decompaction zones caused by weathering or due to tectonically related fracturing. |
|
| It is tectonically active, and most of the continents lie in an equatorial ring whose fringes lie in more temperate zones. |
|
| In the Cheshire Formation of the Belingwe greenstone belt, tectonic ironstones formed along shear zones that now separate tectonically duplicated strata. |
|
| This mountain is tectonically active and uplifts still occur here. |
|
| Association with vertical joints suggests that the deformation is progressively evolving towards dilatancy with increasing tectonically induced differential stress. |
|
| Key to telling phacopids apart is to have specimens which are not tectonically deformed. |
|
| The geometric boundaries of the tectonically quiet Opalinus Clay layer in this area were determined accurately by a 3D seismic campaign. |
|
| Schmidt explains that the St. Elias mountain range is one of the most tectonically active areas in Canada and uplift still occurs. |
|
| In the Folded Jura the entire stack of sedimentary units above the basal detachment horizon is tectonically disturbed on a small scale. |
|
| St. George's Hill and Garibaldi Hill are interpreted as tectonically uplifted volcanic sequences from early eruptive activity of Soufriere Hills volcano. |
|
| Furthermore, the site must be in a tectonically inactive zone so that earthquakes will not break the seal. |
|
| Nevertheless, tectonically influenced origins of recent drainage patterns cannot be neglected. |
|
| Eric is engaged in 3-D field-based studies that combine stratigraphic, structural, and geochronological analysis in tectonically complex regions of the Canadian Shield. |
|
|
|
| It consists into a concordant semi-massive to massive sulfides lens underlain by a tectonically transposed stockwork feeder zone containing pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite millimetric stringers. |
|
| The beginning of the limestone about 160 million years ago can be studied on site as well as the tectonically elevation, dolins and ice hollows and the typical flora and fauna of an inimitable European karst mountain range. |
|
| Rocks and ores stability is decreased in view of high fractured and tectonically damaged zones as well as their ability to intensively collapse under water effect. |
|
| The southern Apennines are also tectonically unstable, with several active volcanoes, including Vesuvius, which from time to time belches ash and steam into the air above Naples and its island-strewn bay. |
|
| While a large earthquake can trigger tremors in distant, tectonically active regions, earthquakes and icequakes have been considered unconnected events. |
|
| The region's trade has shifted tectonically. |
|
| Although the continental slope averages about 4°, it can approach vertical on carbonate margins, on faulted margins, or on leading-edge, tectonically active margins. |
|
| Although this seems old in human terms, geologically it represents areas that are still tectonically active and have the potential to erupt in the future. |
|
| It is affected by environmental threats resulting from former or present industrial activities and uncontrolled agriculture, and moreover is located in a tectonically highly active region. |
|
| Those phenomena are usually included in the concept of tectonics and are a result of the geological evolution of the bedrock and of the original composition of the tectonically deformed material. |
|
| The Japan Basin in the Sea of Japan which formed in the Miocene, is still tectonically active although recent changes have been relatively mild. |
|
| The wedging away, breaking and quartzing of the vein matter in tectonically critical zones does by no means indicate the end of the workability. |
|
| The more the underlying fault is tectonically uplifted, the more the strata will be deformed and must adapt to new shapes. |
|
| Paleoclimatologists can track sea level by examining the rocks deposited along coasts that are very tectonically stable, like the east coast of North America. |
|
| The principle of superposition states that a sedimentary rock layer in a tectonically undisturbed sequence is younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it. |
|
| Subtidal, carbonate and carbonate-clastic symmetric cycles are interpreted to form when the long-term, tectonically driven eustasy prevails over glacioeustasy. |
|
| Although cratons are not tectonically active, they can be located near active margins, such as the Brazilian craton at the rear of the Andean active margin. |
|
| Tectonically they are located on the Halmahera Plate within the Molucca Sea Collision Zone. |
