Uplifting and faulting in the rock formations surrounding these domes often result in oil and gas accumulations.
The sediments were folded and faulted, principally in the early Paleozoic (about 540 million years ago), though recurrently since.
Their angular outlines and particularly angular reentrants (indentations) around their edges indicate that their shape is governed by preexisting tectonic structures (produced by movements of the Earth's crust), such as joints and faults in the underlying older rocks.
Innocent victims of miscarriages of justice are "languishing in jail" due to delays and faults in the case review system, according to MPs behind a hard-hitting report to be published this week.
The former chief executive, Dr. John Ferry, was fired during that crisis, which the board of trustees president blamed on "massive mismanagement" and faults in the hospital's accounting and reporting systems.
There are many folds and faults in the study area.
These motors present a critical behavior under some circumstances, e.g. during starting and faults in the system.
Seismic reflectivity is effective for imaging geologic structures and faults in the sediments, whereas seismic attenuation is effective for imaging faults in the igneous oceanic crust.
Facies of the Upper Jurassic is changing from NW to SE, causing more intensive karstification and faulting in the NW part of the investigation area.
c Sketch showing cracks and faults in the outer rise region due to the tensional stress associated with the bending of the Pacific Plate.
It is noteworthy to say that there is a good correlation between the presence of hot springs and faults in the study area.
