Rift flank uplift results from compression along the flank of the basin.
The results suggest that uplift events took place after AD 1950 (uplift event 1), during AD 786 1891 (uplift event 2), during AD 600 1165 (uplift event 3), and during AD 161 686 (uplift event 4), although uplift events 3 and 4 are identified only at Kouzushima.
So they looked at evidence of a much larger 17th-century quake to see whether uplift resulted from it.
Rapid uplift resulted in the disruption and longitudinal deflection of the Sutlej river channel.
The uplift resulted in a major unconformity and deposition of extensive regional sheets of gravel and sand, of which only isolated remnants remain.
We suggest that the earlier uplift phase, responsible for the initial ∼250 m of uplift, resulted from a similar increase in erosion rates caused by the deterioration in local climate at ∼3.1 Ma.
Regional compression caused by motion of the Earth's tectonic plates, uplift resulting from the melting of ice sheets that covered many parts of Britain thousands of years ago, as well as human activity such as coalmining and fracking exploration, are possible causes.
He suspects that about 1 meter of coastal ground uplift resulting from the fault movement disturbed the sea floor enough to trigger the tsunami.
For example, the Akekule area in the North Uplift of the Tarim Basin, where the Tahe Oilfield located, is a long-term inherited paleo-uplift resulting from an intracratonic deformation and always the target area of oil and gas migrations.
This uplift resulted in slope steepening, thereby creating the slopes necessary for the initiation of slope failure and perhaps explaining the onset of mass transport deposition at ~0.86 Ma with MTD 6.
It is usually believed that strata denudation and faulting are likely to occur in the course of uplifting, resulting in damage to gas reservoirs and dissipation of the gas (Hao et al. 1995; Zhang et al. 1999).
