Sentence examples for km rather from inspiring English sources

Therefore, they likely represent subducting crust with thicknesses of about 7 km rather than sedimentary layers with thicknesses of 0.5 km (e.g., Martin et al. 2003; Abers 2005).

Our Model I was not seriously affected because the original PDE hypocenter depth was 24.4 km rather than 33 km and we didn't attempt to match the upper tip of the fault plane with the trench axis.

Hence, these two grids of heat production values account for the change of heat production with depth with two values (split at a depth of 5 km) rather than a single value for the whole crustal section.

That is, 'repeating' events identified by waveform cross-correlation can only constrain the two events within the size of a wavelength (in this case, about 0.5 km), rather than to make sure that the two events are physically 'repeating'repeating

We found that ≈80% of changes in the total activation energy resulted from changes in the enzyme substrate binding energy, indicating that substrate selectivity in the small pocket is controlled predominantly by the binding step (KM) rather than the catalytic step (kcat).

Following the incident, the trains would have to be in for maintenance examinations every 100000 km, rather than every 1200000 km.

Since results at 250 km are rather similar to that at 400 km, we present the results at 400 km altitude to avoid repetition.

These solutions characteristically show large slip amplitudes shallow in the subduction zone (depth <20 km) at rather larger distances from the land-based observation points.

According to their results and our MT solution, the 2016 SE offshore Mie earthquake can be interpreted as a faulting on the PHS interface (10 11 km depths), rather than on a mega-splay fault (8 9 km depths).

Based on the surface-wave sensitivity kernel (Fig. 6a), our observation suggests that the long-term velocity change occurred in a depth of 2 4 km range rather than in the near-surface layer.

This approach allowed us to compare the trends within each MPA to the population of 'control' reefs within the 200 km buffer rather than selecting a single unprotected reef, which could introduce site selection biases and a variety of other problems [19], [20].
