Sentence examples for extensive thrust from inspiring English sources

To validate this method, extensive thrust measurements were carried out on a colloid thruster that produces μN magnitude level thrust under vacuum conditions.

The pattern of structural geologic features documented during mine mapping is similar to the local trends of regionally extensive thrust faults, fold axes, and basement-cored uplifts that formed during the Laramide orogeny.

The middle Miocene to late Pliocene collision of the Izu-Bonin arc with the outer zone rocks of the Japanese arc has produced an extensive thrust fault system that is identified by its surface expression as the southern segments of the ISTL fault system, and governs the predominantly reverse fault character of the earthquake mechanisms that are observed in the area.

The Sevier belt formed as a foreland-propagating (west to east) wedge mostly during Cretaceous to Paleogene time, and included a western thrust system with aerially extensive thrust sheets that carried thick passive margin strata, and an eastern thrust system that carried thinner strata.

Throughout much of Europe there is evidence of extensive thrusting, implying that there was appreciable thickening of the continental crust and the formation of a Tibetan-style plateau across the Hercynian orogeny.

But the broad thrust was clear.

From the Late Jurassic through the Cretaceous, collision between the North American and Farallon plates drove extensive thin-skinned thrusting and crustal shortening that resulted in substantial relief in the North American Cordillera.

The method is validated by an extensive numerical study of the thrust generation of an oscillating airfoil, involving comparisons with reliable experimental results.

Eyes wide and head thrust.

Other types of metamorphism include local effects caused by deformation in fault zones, burning oil shales, and thrusted ophiolite complexes; extensive recrystallization caused by high heat flow in mid-ocean ridges; and shock metamorphism induced by high-pressure impacts of meteorites in craters on the Earth and Moon.

A half-3D (D-shaped cylindrical configuration to enable optimal visualizations) divergent-convergent nozzle was designed, built, and used for extensive experiments under different air injection conditions and thrust measurement schemes.
