Sentence examples for convergence direction from inspiring English sources

We confirmed that most of the earthquakes which occurred before the mainshock were reverse fault type events and the P-axes of these focal mechanisms were directed in the plate convergence direction (NWN-ESE), but that most of earthquakes in the hanging wall after the mainshock are normal fault type ones, as already pointed out by Asano et al. (2011).

Convergence direction and rate indicated by the arrow.

The obliquity between the convergence direction and the trend of the plate boundary provides a gradient in uplift and variations in longevity of orogenic activity with a young, immature orogen in the south, a mature orogen in central and northern Taiwan, and perhaps even the cessation of orogeny in the far north.

White arrows show the convergence direction of the Pacific Plate.

The black arrow indicates the current convergence direction of the PHS plate.

By comparing the velocity structure model and the convergence direction of the PHS plate, it can be concluded that these earthquakes occur at the plate interface.

However, recent dense seismic observations reveal that the σ 1 axes are oblique to plate convergence directions on the fore-arc side (Yoshida et al. 2015a).

Consequently, the maximum horizontal stress axis tends 118°N, which is sub-parallel to the far-field plate-convergence direction.

The finite difference scheme (9) is convergent with the fourth-order convergence in spatial direction.

In this paper, a general form of FFILC is studied, comprising of two feedback controllers, a state feedback controller and a tracking error compensator, for the robustness and convergence along time direction, and an ILC for performance along the cycle direction.

However, global "convergence" in one direction of tracer transport directly implies global "divergence" of transport in the opposite direction, as revealed by simulated injections into our model (Fig. 5 a – c ).
