Sentence examples for major tectonic events from inspiring English sources

The Carboniferous Period (about 359 to 299 million years ago) was marked by the onset of several major tectonic events.

These high angle faults most likely developed as normal faults before being reactivated by five of the six major tectonic events.

These links permit the derivation of better constrained models of major tectonic events, particularly in regions where outcrop is poor and the structural architecture is complex.

to portray the major tectonic events that have shaped the PSP such as its inception, subduction initiation, intraplate deformation including shortening, rifting and spreading, or tectonic erosion and subduction along some of its boundaries.

It has been argued that one of the major tectonic events (an oblique subduction of the PHS plate) re-activated the Median Tectonic Line (MTL) as a dextral detachment fault (Fitch 1972; Matsuda 1973).

This basin experienced two major tectonic events: (i) a syn-rift stage that was dominated by a fluvial lacustrine depositional environment and (ii) a post-rift stage that was dominated by a fluvial environment.

This particular extinction is very closely timed with a major tectonic event that affected the North American region.

It appears that some major tectonic event took place at the beginning of the period (c. 5500 bce), causing the deposition of great quantities of silt on the plain, almost completely burying the original mound at Mehrgarh.

Another major tectonic event is from the Beppu Bay through mid-Kyushu Island, where the tectonic activity shifts from simple strike-slip movement to normal domain (Terakawa and Matsu 2010; Matsumoto et al. 2015).

This major tectonic event modified not only the driving forces of the Pacific plate and thus the plate motion direction, but also those of the surrounding plates through a change in mantle flow.
