geotectonic

Its territory can be divided into five geotectonic units of differing genesis:

Shear zones can occur in the following geotectonic settings:

Owing to the geotectonic zone the city falls in, the city is considered a potential geothermal energy site.

This is followed by the creation of the Earth and the geotectonic evolution of Greece's land-mass.

It is mandated to mitigate disasters that may arise from such volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other related geotectonic phenomena.

These research themes are pursued in the three main geotectonic settings: divergent and convergent margins and in intraplate regions.

Shield margins have been subject to geotectonic forces that have both destroyed and rebuilt the margins and the cratons that they partially comprise.

The entire part of Serbia east of the Great and South Morava rivers is referred to as "Carpatho-Balkan arc" in geotectonic terminology.

Detailed geochemical profiling of the lava sequences has revealed a complex history of eruption from magma chambers which, although linked in the same geotectonic setting, had individual development paths within the crust.

The terrain of this geotectonic unit is mainly built up of Mesozoic (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous) limestones and dolomites of several kilometres of thickness.

We know that shortly after creation a violent spate of seething geotectonic activity must have taken place as the interior of the Earth grew hotter, new out-gassing occurred and new islands appeared.

To avoid earthquake risks to it, he is first setting up a network of underwater explosives to release all Earth's geotectonic tensions at once and thus ensure that no more build up for a long while.

In 1949 V. Khain was awarded professorship in the oil and gas geology department and worked there until 1954, having published in the interim a fundamental monograph titled "Geotectonic basics of oil exploration".

It can't be much older than that, they say, because Megalo Kastro is a young planet and tremendous geotectonic stuff is going on all the time; at the rate continents rise and fall there, the fortress can't be enormously ancient.

The back arc/foreland-basin model developed as a result of the work is being increasingly used to constrain regional geotectonic models of the collisional history of the Iapetus Suture Zone, presently being investigated in collaboration with the Newfoundland Geological Survey.

The Chiloé Block or Chiloé Terrane is a geotectonic unit making up the basement of large parts of south-central Chile between 41 and 45 S. Due to its form it is sometimes called Chiloé Sliver.

The Ohrid and Prespa Lakes belong to a group of Dessaret basins that originated from a geotectonic depression during the Pliocene epoch up to five million years ago on the western side of the Dinaric Alps.

In 1998, the IPPAR was involved in work to restore the burial mound, providing access to the gallery of Tholos 7, recomposition of the megaliths, drainage of the spaces and adequate protection, which further involved the a geotectonic study of the site.
