following melting of ice sheets that appeared during thePleistocene Epoch(2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago), to be a better explanation of the latest upward growth of many reefs, particularly on continental shelves. Mid-ocean stages of coral reef development are explained byplate-tectonic theory,...
Present-day coastlines and tectonic boundaries of continents are shown in the inset at the lower right.(more) The first oceans formed from the breakup, some 180 million years ago, were the central Atlantic Ocean between northwestern Africa and North America and the southwestern Indian Ocean ...

aComplex fold interference structures are exposed in a tectonic half-windowof the deeply eroded gneiss dome located between the Toce and Ticino rivers, limited to the south by the Canavese and Tonale faults of the Insubric line. 复杂折叠干涉结构在深深地被腐蚀的岩土体圆顶位于在Toce和Ticino河之间...
Because there is no indication of tectonic impact on the host rock, a possible alternative cause of stress could have been increasing load of the overlying sediments brought about by the decomposition of tuff particles which weakens the internal stability of the tuff layer and results in its ...

The four types of earthquakes are tectonic, volcanic, collapse, and explosion. Tectonic earthquakes are the result of tectonic plate movement. Volcanic earthquakes are the result of a slip of a fault near a volcano. Collapse earthquakes are small underground earthquakes that occur in caverns or min...
