Sentence examples for depth of the transition from inspiring English sources

The black circles show the depth of the transition from a brittle deformational regime to a ductile one, and the red circles show the depth where the temperature is 350°C.

The thickness of the stratigraphic formations derives from Nolan et al. (1990), however, the depth of the transition from the post-obduction sediments to the ophiolites is not yet determined with certainty.

Similar to previous numerical studies of pumping-induced upconing, the numerical results show that the most important factors controlling the boil salinity in Dutch polders are boil discharge, the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, the depth of the transition zone and the salinity (or density) contrast within the aquifer.

Our experimental data help constrain the depth of the transition between a dilatant and compactant failure mode in edifice-forming andesitic lavas.

It is worthwhile noting that the depth of the transition between a dilatant and compactant failure mode is likely reduced for rocks containing higher porosities and increased for rocks containing lower porosities.

The results showed that increasing the upward flux from a basin increased the salt concentration and mass loading of salt to streams, and decreased the depth to the transition of fresh/salt groundwater.

Thus, the depth of this transition zone in a specific area is strongly affected by the geothermal gradient: the steeper the gradient the shallower the transition zone (and vice versa).

Depths of the transitions are about 30 km between the seismogenic and decoupled zones (Hyndman and Wang 1993) and 75 ± 15 km between decoupled and coupled zones as constrained from heat flow data (Wada and Wang 2009).

The depth of the coupling transition, obtained by GPS, can also be explained by the lateral variation of the 350°C isotherm (i.e., the isotherm below which some slab minerals become ductile).

Given the density of overlying strata, the critical depth of the brittle ductile transition can be calculated, namely the depth of the top boundary of the ductile zone (H d): H_{text{d}} = 100 times (a - b)/(rho - 1.07) (7).

In a comprehensive study, Liotta and Ranalli (1999) attribute a relatively narrow temperature range to the K horizon and conclude that the K horizon "follows approximately the (450 pm 50,^{circ } mathrm{C}) isotherm and is compatible with the expected depth of the brittle/ductile transition for high pore fluid pressures and a wide range of strain rate".
