| The complexes were stacked during the Devonian in an accretionary wedge to the west or NW of the Rheic oceanic basin. |
|
| The most widely accepted view is that of an accretionary prism developed above an active subduction zone. |
|
| It seems unlikely that an ophiolite fragment 300 km long would remain intact and unmixed with the rest of the rocks in an accretionary wedge. |
|
| This assemblage is interpreted as the accretionary prism of an active continental margin. |
|
| Around both zones accretionary wedges are indications of Cretaceous subduction. |
|
| In the study area, the surface geology of the foreland fold and thrust belt is dominated by the south Urals accretionary complex. |
|
| A seamount capped by limestone was incorporated into the accretionary prism north of the arc in Cambrian-Early Ordovician time. |
|
| The disposition of these three neighbouring units probably corresponds to their original relations in the growing accretionary wedge. |
|
| The Dzag schists to the north of the ophiolite zone have previously been interpreted as part of an accretionary wedge. |
|
| In summary, we interpret Unit II as a fragment of a volcanic seamount incorporated into an Early Palaeozoic accretionary prism. |
|
| The Oman Fault separates the Zagros fold and thrust belt from the Makran accretionary wedge in the east. |
|
| Although it is currently interpreted as an accretionary prism complex, the exact depositional setting remains unclear. |
|
| Episodes of differential uplift are attributed to active subcretion building culminations above blind imbricate thrusts deep in the accretionary prism beneath the coast. |
|
| The Martian spheroids, when first observed, could have been impact spherules, concretions, ooids, accretionary lapelli, weathering pisoliths, even fossils. |
|
| Work on modern accretionary prisms and analogue experiments have recently emphasized the role of seismic activity in the generation of similar vein arrays. |
|
| The most conspicuous outboard structure is the accretionary wedge that lies just continentward of the ocean trench, the bathymetric manifestation of the subduction zone. |
|
| This style of flow is not unexpected at deep levels of an accretionary prism like the Otago Schist that is being thickened by underplating from below. |
|
| A maximum age is indicated by the Cambrian Akaz seamount in an accretionary prism, the presence of which implies the existence of a trench adjacent to the arc. |
|
| Collectively these objectives will comprise a comprehensive effort to delineate the mechanics of fluid migration and dewatering activity in the Costa Rica accretionary prism. |
|
| In accretionary prism models, the fact that the sediments are unlithified during deformation and burial indicates that accretion occurred soon after deposition. |
|
|
|
| Development of Omans Offshore Block 18 in the North Sohar Basin between the Batinah coast and the Makran Accretionary Prism. |
|
| Convergent margins with growing accretionary prisms are called accretionary margins and make up nearly half of all convergent margins. |
|
| Active accretionary prisms are common in trenches near continents where rivers or glaciers supply great volumes of sediment to the trench. |
|
| The large accretionary prism reaches above sea level to form the islands of Barbados and Trinidad. |
|
| Strain rate and hydrologic properties also influence the strength of the accretionary prism and the angle of critical taper. |
|
| The Carpathian accretionary wedge is made of several thin skinned nappes composed of Cretaceous to Paleogene turbidites. |
|
| The accreted material is often referred to as an accretionary wedge, or prism. |
|
| Prior to its formation, the Southern Uplands accretionary prism, flanking the edge of the Laurentian continent, was advancing towards Avalonia. |
|
| The sandstone fill is organized into cross-beds and ripple cross-laminae that formed part of downstream accretionary or sandy barforms. |
|
| Where sediments are thick, most of them are scraped off onto the leading edge of the overriding plate, like snow piling up on a plow blade, forming an accretionary prism. |
|
| There is a probable presence of an overthrust wedge beneath the Sarawak shelf, which could be interpreted as a sliver of the Rajang Group accretionary prism. |
|
| In during of tectonic evolution of Lut block margin from Eocene until now a new accretionary prism as Nehcomplex has jointed to the other old terrene. |
|
| The accretionary processes that formed full-size planets in our primordial solar system occurred much more slowly farther from the sun, where Uranus and Neptune now dwell. |
|
| These fluids may travel through the accretionary prism diffusely, via interconnected pore spaces in sediments, or may follow discrete channels along faults. |
|
| Trenches distant from an influx of continental sediments lack an accretionary prism, and the inner slope of such trenches is commonly composed of igneous or metamorphic rocks. |
|
| The slope of the inner trench slope of an accretionary convergent margin reflects continuous adjustments to the thickness and width of the accretionary prism. |
|
| In this case an accretionary prism grows and the location of the trench migrates progressively away from the volcanic arc over the life of the convergent margin. |
|
| The North American Cordillera is an accretionary orogen which grew by the progressive addition of allochthonous terranes along this margin from the Late Palaeozoic. |
