Vertical precipices in cohesive soil may be briefly created by tectonic processes, but weathering and soil erosion should quickly smear these out.
Tectonic setting, recognition and hydrocarbon reservoir potential of fan-delta deposits.
Furthermore, crustal deformation associated with tectonic uplift and exposure of ancient basins often disrupts the lateral continuity of stratigraphic indicators and renders their correlation problematic.
Mountains, molecules, and tectonic plates, for example, exist and would exist if there had never been any humans or animals.
When two tectonic plates collide the visible signs for those above are volcanoes and earthquakes.
In order to better rethink this relationship, the concept of the tectonic was introduced.
The gallery pavilion is more complex, but this complexity is achieved by the simplest of spatial and tectonic means.
The coeval timing of the magmatism refutes the previous model of emplacement during and after a compressive tectonic event.
The massive structure of the rock implies that intrusion and metamorphism took place under isotropic stress conditions, in agreement with its late tectonic regional setting.
Patterns of evolutionary biodiversity and palaeobiogeographical linkages support the geochemical signatures in inter preting the tectonic history of the region.
A long-term relative sea-level cycle most probably reflects the local tectonic development and the changes in the subsidence rates.
The juxtaposition of the two rock associations is because of the tectonic emplacement of the former amidst the latter.
The aim of this paper is to document an example of tectonic control associated with sequence formation on a carbonate platform.
Figure 11b shows the tectonic position after the main oceanic obduction event.
While expressing reservations about some of the resulting tectonic inter pretations, we wish to acknowledge the contribution made by all participants in this collaborative project.
