Sentence examples similar to crust generating from inspiring English sources

This observation is consistent with the negligibly small relocation error mentioned above and can be attributed to the fact that oceanic crust generated at the mid-ocean ridge with thick sedimentary cover is generally much more homogeneous geologically than continental crust that has undergone tectonic processes and erosions.

However, it remains unclear whether the heterogeneity of the crust generates these asperities.

The green dashed line depicts the estimated age of subducted oceanic crust generated at an oceanic spreading center.

In his model, plastic flow in the low viscosity area in the lower crust generates a concentration of strain and high seismicity in the upper crust.

The computation of the hoop stress in the crust, generated by the LOD annual variations, supports oscillations up to 0.4 MPa of the horizontal stress acting on the wall rocks of magma chambers, which appears high enough to trigger rupture and promote magma ascent and eruption.

Investigation of intracrustal faults is important not only to understand their relationships with intracrustal earthquakes (e.g., Yadav et al. 2013) but also the contribution of fluid interactions between the mantle and crust in generating earthquakes (e.g., Sano et al. 2014).

Weathering intensity changes due to climatic variability across tectonically stable portions of continental crust can generate a thick and extensive weathered cover, resulting in regolith-dominated terrains (RDTs).

This tensile stress, as well as high pore fluid pressure, in the uppermost slab crust thus generates the normal fault type seismicity that occurs there.

The mid-lower reaches mainly drain Quaternary fluvial and lacustrine sediments, together with intermediate-felsic igneous rocks and metamorphic units forming parts of the Yangtze Craton that represents much older crust originally generated at 2.5 2.8 Ga (e.g., He et al. 2013a; Iizuka et al. 2010).

The impermeable structure of the land crust caps the area of low Vp and high Vp/Vs of the subducted oceanic crust, which would generate high fluid pressure in the oceanic crust.

This calls for a rethink of how we calculate the rates and processes of generating new crust on Earth," he said.
