| Bent specimens show folds on the compressional but not the extensional side, indicating that walls were originally flexible. |
|
| The Delamerian Orogen is a compressional orogen developed by westward vergent folds and thrust faults. |
|
| A series of compressional and extensional tectonic events created the present geologic structure and physiography. |
|
| The fibrous layer, which is made of aragonite and organic material, is elastic only under compressional stress. |
|
| Rocks and geological structures exhibit a mixture of compressional and extensional stress effects. |
|
| Primary waves are compressional, or push-pull, waves and are similar to sound waves in that they move material forward and backward along a line in the same direction of wave propagation. |
|
| The seismograms from earthquakes recorded at stations all over the world are analyzed to derive compressional and shear wave velocity and density as a function of depth. |
|
| As for compressional waves, background plasma flow and β conditions are significantly different from the case of transverse wave. |
|
| In general, the attainment of peak pressure conditions in compressional systems such as the Delamerian Orogeny reflects the effects of crustal thickening. |
|
| The compressional warming that occurs as the air descends creates vast regions of subtropical high pressure. |
|
| As components of the rock record, fossils provide a record of the thermal, compressional, and deformational events that the rocks endured. |
|
| The left part of the adhesive joint is subjected to local compressional stress whereas the right part is subjected to local tensile stress. |
|
| Mountain building there resulted from compressional folding and high-angle faulting, except for the low-angle thrust-faulting in southwestern Wyoming and southeastern Idaho. |
|
| The influence of Laramide tectonics is apparent in the Colville Hills area where shallow detached wrench, compressional and extensional faults overlie reactivated deeper faults of crustal scale. |
|
| In addition to studying the extensional tectonics of the North Atlantic, I became more involved with the modeling of compressional and extensional regions using a desktop computer. |
|
| The old Cimmeride compressional basins of Tarim, Dzungaria, and the other smaller ones have been all rejuvenated, as have the intervening mountain ridges such as the Tien Shan. |
|
| The GSC operates both sidewell-locking geophones and hydrophone arrays for measurement of compressional and shear wave velocities in overburden materials. |
|
| The rifting took place in the Paleoproterozoic around 1864 Ma, and was followed by E W orientated compressional deformation ca. 1850 Ma with the development of northerly trending isoclinal folds and associated faults. |
|
| In fact, the contraction of Mercury estimated from cooling of its mantle should have produced even more compressional features on its surface than have been seen, which suggests that the planet has not finished shrinking. |
|
| Faulting took place in a compressional regime as indicated by seismic profiles. |
|
|
|
| The age of the compressional deformation is Westphalian or younger, as highly deformed Cumberland strata are observed both north and south of the McCully Field. |
|
| The active compressional deformation in this segment is an extremely rare example of compression between two oceanic litospheres. |
|
| On the leeward side of mountains, desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by compressional heating. |
|
| These shear loads subject the structure to both tensile and compressional loads. |
|
| During the absorbing phase of the embossing process, a compressional model of the cells can be used. |
|
| Amazingly, the compressional strength of bone is even greater than that of reinforced concrete. |
|
| The velocity of compressional waves in rocks to 10 kilobars. |
|
| Three of these events are compressional, and the last one is extensional. |
|
| Compressional forces, isostatic uplift and intrusion of igneous matter forces surface rock upward, creating a landform higher than the surrounding features. |
