Sentence examples for of active margin from inspiring English sources

The sedimentary architecture of active margin basins, including back-arc basins, is known only from a few end-members that barely illustrate the natural diversity of such basins.

The Late Cretaceous tectonic evolution of NE China reflects a complex history of extensional, contractional and strike-slip deformation as a result of the Mesozoic geodynamics of the active margin of East Asia.

Fig. 4 Sketch showing the shrinking of an active margin undergoing tectonic erosion.

Main elements of the zone's Okhotsk-Beringian segment are: arc-trough system structures; back-arc basins; the Okhotsk mega-depression with its folding-associated, plunge-associated and graben-associated depressions; a Beringian quasi-plate, which is a passive element of the active margin; and Kamchatka, Sakhalin and Koryak uplands' folded Cenozoic structures.

Because the compositions of both sample subsets are similar to those of mudstones from the recently active Nankai accretionary prism and forearc, the results can be used to make some predictions about the strength and frictional behavior of the deeper parts of the Nankai active margin and the décollement at its base.

Using published age and paleogeographic constraints, we propose the presence of (1) a major early Paleozoic tectonic boundary that separates the Chinese Altay East Junggar multiple subduction systems of the southern Siberian active margin from those of the northern Tarim; and (2) a major Permian suture zone that separates the Tianshan Beishan from the northern active margin of the Tarim Craton.

An incisional biopsy from the active margin of a leg lesion showed several foci of dermal necrosis with dense lymphocytic infiltrate and Langhans-type giant cells consistent with granulomatous inflammation of tuberculosis.

New geological mapping and 40Ar 39Ar ages reveal a temporal progression of faulting along a major extensional fault (the Abert Rim fault) at the active margin of the Basin and Range Province in the western U.S. The onset of extensional deformation near Lake Abert coincided with widespread basaltic volcanism.
