| To many they represent channels formed by submarine erosion and redeposition of the Chalk during relative sea-level falls, linked to tectonics. |
| Certain basins acquire complex geological profiles due to brittle, saliferous or clay tectonics. |
| The big bang theory, evolution, plate tectonics, and other scientific marvels fascinated me. |
| He also questions the stratigraphy of the graben and the timing of north-south extensional tectonics. |
| These data clearly demonstrate that parts of the Scottish basement underwent major thick-skinned tectonics during the Grenvillian orogeny. |
| In plate tectonics, a transform fault is a strike-slip fault extending throughout the lithosphere and joining any two other plate margins. |
