In the Late Tertiary, compressional forces ceased and extensional forces began.
2.
By 40 million years ago, the compressional force of the Kula Plate ceased.
3.
The resultant compressional forces produce mountain ranges.
4.
The Alaska Earthquake was a Aleutian Megathrust, a reverse fault caused by a compressional force.
5.
This relative thickness may be why compressional forces from the orogeny were mostly transmitted through the province instead of deforming it.
6.
This convergence applied compressional forces to the rift, preventing the complete splitting apart of the proto-North American continent.
7.
The southwestward motion of the North American Plate towards the Pacific is creating compressional forces along the eastern side of the fault.
8.
Here, ramp flat geometries are not usually observed because the compressional force is at a steep angle to the sedimentary layering.
9.
As a result of the compressional forces, thrust faulting occurred piling the rock layers up into nappes ( " Gesteinsdecken " ).
10.
The northwest movement of the Pacific Plate is also creating significant compressional forces which are especially pronounced where the North American Plate has forced the San Andreas to jog westward.
