The other contributing factor for inadequate knowledge could be the low literacy rate among defaulted patients of plain and MC strata limiting their access to various information sources [24], [25], [29] [33].
The predominant physical feature was the criterion for designating districts under each geographical stratum – plain, desert, coastal and hilly.
Reasons for dissatisfaction were lack of personal attention, rude behaviour of the staff, inconvenient DOT timings and long waiting hours stated particularly by defaulted patients of plain, desert and MC strata (not tabulated).
Groups 6 to 12 were terraces, fans, and plains formed by unconsolidated strata.
As neotectonism in the study area is only characterized by uplift of the hilly lands and subsidence (1 3 mm/yr) in the coastal plain area (Chen and Stanley 1993), gas-bearing strata in the Changjiang delta area remain horizontal; therefore, gas migration and accumulation are mainly controlled by the lithology of gas-source layers and reservoirs, and there are no significant structural traps.
Literacy rate [17] was significantly lower among patients in defaulted in comparison with completed group in plain (p = 0.01) and MC strata (p = 0.03).
As mentioned earlier, mountains in Japan, California, and Australia are mainly composed of bedrocks, and in Japan and California, plains are commonly composed of unconsolidated strata.
Relief on the nearly horizontal sedimentary strata of the Ebro depression is mostly plain or plateau, except at the eastern end where the Ebro River penetrates the mountains to reach the Mediterranean Sea.
A variety of mapping, outcrop, core, and geochronological data from the extrabasinal Colorado River and the basin-fringe Trinity River show that Beaumont and post-Beaumont strata consist of a series of coastal plain incised valley fills that represent 100 kyr climatic and glacio-eustatic cycles.
Nonetheless, a higher proportion of patients in defaulted group reported poor staff support in hilly (p = 0.03), plain (p = 0.001) & MC (p = 0.01) strata compared to completed group.
