Sentence examples for is slightly shallower from inspiring English sources

For instance, Ansell and Bannister ([1996]) estimated the location of the plate boundary using the seismicity of ordinary earthquakes, whereas Bannister et al. ([2007]) constrained the plate geometry within the central part of the subduction zone by analyzing receiver functions; of note, the depth of the latter plate boundary is slightly shallower than that of the former.

As a second step, the averaged magnetization over the whole survey area is estimated under the approximation that the orientation of the rock magnetization is parallel to the direction of the main field, and also that the magnetization is uniform vertically from the ground surface down to 6 km below sea level (BSL), which is slightly shallower than the Curie point depth (Okubo et al., 1985).

However, the gradient is slightly shallower than expected for two reasons.

The depths of the former tend to be slightly shallower than those of the latter.

The east flow-way was slightly shallower (∼0.2 m) and received proportionately more flow (61%) than the west flow-way.

If mixing with upper layers occurred, the top depth of the lower crust can be slightly shallower.

It is interesting to note that the scatterers found in this study are slightly shallower than the reflector estimated by Hori and Hasegawa (1991).

In addition, convex-upward seafloor regions yielded a large ratio because the water depths were slightly shallower allowing deeper BSRs to develop in this location relative to neighboring areas.

However, the hole could be slightly shallower for smaller diameters due to the difficulty for etching species to diffuse into and for etching products to get out of the holes.

The depth, however, may be slightly shallower if ~0.2 s smaller travel times that match the very weak signals recorded by some of the other OBSs are taken into consideration.

In all cases, the asperity occurred at almost the same location as in the kinematic model (see bottom right of Figure 4), although the asperity simulated according to our method was found to be slightly shallower than that of the kinematic model.
