| Both tectonic stress and gravitational loading by overburden can produce pressure dissolution. |
| The aeromagnetic data suggest that the lineament corresponds to a tectonic break. |
| The metamorphic core complex is thus formed as mid-crustal rocks are exhumed by tectonic unroofing in an extensional setting. |
| These uncertainties also have an important bearing in understanding the complex and rapidly evolving tectonic history of the Adelaide Fold Belt. |
| As new seafloor forms, the earth's tectonic plates move apart in opposite directions at these spreading centers. |
| The actual length is unpredictable as the wobble can be affected by many variables, including tectonic movement. |
