Sentence examples for tectonic transport from inspiring English sources

Permian rocks are common to all present-day continents; however, some have been moved sometimes thousands of kilometres from their original site of deposition by tectonic transport during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras.

Permian rocks are found on all present-day continents; however, some have been displaced considerable distances from their original latitudes of deposition by tectonic transport occurring during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras.

Metamorphism associated with nappes (large recumbent folds) in the Alps and the Appalachians provides strong evidence that the tectonic transport of rocks typically occurs at rates faster than those of thermal equilibration in other words, that the nappes can transport hot rocks for large distances without significant cooling.

The WNW trending thrust system with dominant tectonic transport toward northeast, is oblique to overall N S trend of the NSB or the EGB.

On the contrary, it could play as combined barriers conduits during its later evolution (progressively at shallower levels) being characterised by intersecting fault planes, which define pipe-like conduits parallel to the direction of the tectonic transport.

Mass movements, catastrophic land sliding and tectonic activity transported material from steep slopes to valley bottoms which were responsible for forming lakes (preserved as thick piles of fine sediment), while the outburst floods redistributed sediment down valley.

The high pressure metamorphic zone of As Sifah area in the Saih Hatat window, NE Oman plays a vital role to study global tectonic setting, metamorphism, transport direction and age of initial ophiolite emplacement.

The Earth's surface morphology, in an abiotic context, is a consequence of major forcings such as tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment transport, and climate.

Others may be transported by tectonic forces (involved in deformation of the Earth's crust) or by ice (such as erratics, or glacier transports) and let down to an unsettled position.
