Sentence examples for active basin from inspiring English sources
On tectonically active basin margins, processes such as seismic activity, seabed faulting and folding and emplacement of mass-transport complexes (MTCs) are additional triggers.
This is by far the most active basin, accounting for one-third of all tropical cyclone activity.
The structure and present form of this tectonically active basin and its bordering mountain system have been determined by the convergence and recession of the relatively stable continental plates of Eurasia and Africa during the past 44 million years.
In a tectonically active basin, tectonic stresses and strains arise from tectonic plate movement.
Our study region is in the northern part of the North China Plain, which is an active basin formed under a pullapart condition and crosscut by many conjugate faults in the NNE and NWW directions (Deng et al., 2003).
The aim of the present study was to investigate the sedimentary characteristics, sequence architecture, and the controls on LMV deposition in this tectonically active basin using field survey data, seismic sections, seismic amplitude imaging, core description, and comprehensive application of drilling data.
Structural elements The extent and activity level of structural elements (i.e., faults, folds, magnetic lineaments, active basins, and so forth) may be used as basis to judge levels of future seismic activity for a selected magnitude interval.
Reconstruction of the depositional geometry of the Tyee Basin succession from detailed outcrop and subsurface data reveals two distinct stages of development for this active basin-margin.
We studied the mechanisms and intensity of deformation across a large, active, basin-bounding normal fault zone in Mesozoic platform carbonates.
Field studies predict that pull-apart basins become extinct when an active basin-crossing fault forms; this is the most likely fate of pull-apart basins, because basin-bounding strike-slip systems tend to straighten and connect as they evolve.
In tectonically active basins, syndepositional structures, especially syndepositional faults, are well developed and widely distributed.
