Sentence examples for major sea level from inspiring English sources

The second falls in the Rhaetian corresponding to a major sea level fall which led to the invasion of forced regressive siliciclastic deposits over the peritidal carbonates.

In general, siliciclastic fluxes from the land to the slope in passive continental margin should be higher in major sea level lowstands and become lower during transgressions (Nelson 1990; Handford and Loucks 1993; Schlager et al. 1994).

It is likely that the topographic setting of the catchment supplying sediment to Sphakia fan maintained high sediment transfer rates during most climatic settings enabling fan aggradation to occur except during major climatic driven transitions i.e. major sea level fall and postglacial vegetation development.

Although large-scale depositional geometries mimic lowstand systems track architecture, these sedimentary turnovers are developed in relation with major sea level rise, inducing an increase in the rate of creation of accommodation space that outpaces the capacity of carbonate to keep up.

During the 2012 negotiations in Doha, Qatar, a major sea level rise report was released and the amount of searches during that period for that term actually topped searches during Sandy.

The potential for major sea level rise depends mostly on a significant melting of the polar ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica, as this is where the vast majority of glacial ice is located.

Major sea-level regression during this period led to the formation of extensive coastal dune fields.

This is followed by sub-aerial exposure that probably corresponds to a major sea-level fall during the Serravallian.

Carbon isotopic variations of Frasnian shallow-water carbonates from Belgium are related to facies and major sea-level trends.

Five major sea-level falls (30 to 100 m) possibly correlate to sequence boundaries identified in other palaeotectonic/palaeogeographic settings, and are interpreted as resulting from glacio-eustatism or, alternatively, an unknown mechanism.

The carbon isotopic values are related to facies (with the more negative values for the shallowest facies) and to major sea-level variations (most negative values after the main regression).
