"overlying strata" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is used to describe geological strata that lie on top of other geological strata. For example, "The sedimentary rock in the area was comprised of older underlying strata and two distinct overlying strata."
The injected fill at the targeted void space mitigates the deformation of overlying strata, thus reducing surface subsidence.
The injectite complexes are often associated with folding of overlying strata, which we relate to differential compaction.
Based on the movement characteristics of overlying strata at the LTCC face, Yan (1996) introduced a mechanical theory of limited deformation and proposed a balance structure of macro continuous "compressed arch beam" of overlying strata at the upper location.
The strata with self-support capability after fracture (complete support strata) are defined as roof overlying strata.
When first acquisition was carried out, the coal seam was in original state, it aimed at performing background survey for surface overlying strata.
Since the application of LTCC technology, there have been many studies on the movement characteristics of overlying strata, which has resulted in a large amount of achievements.
Based on the study discussed above, a "cantilever beam articulated beam" structural model for overlying strata at a LLTCC face has been developed, shown in Fig. 9.
In cold-water geysers, CO2-laden water lies in a confined aquifer, in which water and CO2 are trapped by less permeable overlying strata.
In most programs, only 10to25percentent of the holes are actually cored for detailed information on overlying strata and coal.
The salt and overlying strata become unstable and salt begins to flow from an undeformed bed to a rounded salt pillow.
These barite masses occur at the uppermost tips of hydrothermal feeder veins along faults (that is, hydrothermal fluid conduits), and some are found immediately beneath overlying strata with known geyserite and siliceous sinter deposits.
