The rate of uplift from the Mid-Cenozoic to the present has been slowly decreasing due to slower tectonic processes.
22.
Depressions are typically formed by tectonic processes acting on the lithosphere, providing " accommodation space " for sediment to be preserved.
23.
Tectonic processes active in the Cascadia subduction zone region include accretion, subduction, deep earthquakes, and active volcanism of the Portland, Oregon.
24.
Beginning about 250 million years ago, when the Permian period was ending, the tectonic processes of continental drift began splitting Pangea apart.
25.
Is a Japanese seismologist who has made fundamental contributions to understanding the physics of earthquakes and the tectonic processes that cause them.
26.
This change in nature is interpreted as a response to the maturity of the plate tectonics processes throughout the Earth's geological history.
27.
Because tectonic processes are highly dependent on the current state of gravitational stresses, redistribution of surface material can lead to tectonic activity.
28.
They can be originally emplaced in a horizontal orientation, although tectonic processes may cause subsequent rotation of horizontal sills into near vertical orientations.
29.
The Variscan orogeny involved a complicated heterogeneous assembly of different microplates and heterochronous collisions, making the exact reconstruction of the plate tectonic processes difficult.
30.
This instigates different tectonic processes, which include surficial uplift, crustal deformation, intense seismic activity, high heat flow, and even the extrusion of volcanic rocks.
