Sentence examples for margin architecture from inspiring English sources

Our study reveals more complex rift shear margin architecture than previously envisaged.

Consequently, complexities in the rift shear margin architecture have been overlooked by current interpretations of margin development.

Extension rate and crustal strength are two important factors that influence the shape of initial rift basins and final passive margin architecture.

Our goals are to identify the rheological mechanism(s) controlling rift reactivation versus migration and determine if cooling phases may help explain recent interpretations of passive margin architecture and evolution.

The margin architecture at the head of this slide is associated with a gravity-controlled fold and thrust belt that may have caused slope steepening and triggering of the slide.

Various platform margin architectures and reef-shoal characteristics occur in different areas of the Tarim basin.

The incised features may have played a significant role on the basin-margin architecture, facies distribution and accommodation space during the multitude of up and down sea level events of the Quaternary.

The first stage described above marks the early development of a shelf-slope prism on the Tyee continental margin, and has been interpreted by some earlier workers as an unique category of basin-margin architecture, termed as a 'submarine ramp'.

However, lateral variations in subsidence regime and shifts in sediment supply led to significant variations in shelf-margin architecture along-strike, directly impacting sediment partitioning between the shelf and the deep-water areas.

Despite the obvious importance of sediment supply to shelf-margin architecture and to the potential of margins to contain and bypass deep-water sands, the role of supply in shelf-margin growth has received limited attention.

The Barrow Group provides a unique example of how rift tectonics can control the stratigraphic architecture of a regressive margin and reciprocally, how studying shelf-margin architecture can help constraining the dynamics and timing of rifting around the break-up stage.
