What was the role of arc-systems duringcontinentalmarginevolution?
From theCambridge English Corpus
Stratigraphic models depictcontinentalmarginsedimentation in ever greater numbers, but studies of their real sedimentary sequences have, with exceptions, gently slipped into the background.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The first two sequences are thought to represent the evolution of the basin on a passivecontinentalmargin.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The progressive contraction of oceanic crust caused the uplift of previously riftedcontinentalmargin and platforms and the formation of foredeep flysch basins.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This finding implies magmas intruding into acontinentalmarginarc.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This implies accretion of the limestone to thecontinentalmarginsoon after its formation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The progressive contraction of oceanic crust caused the uplift of previously riftedcontinentalmargin and platforms, and formation of foredeep flysch basins.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Collision of a ridge crest with thecontinentalmarginhas been active for the past 14 to 15 million years.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This requires the limestone to have migrated from its intra-oceanic setting to accretion at acontinentalmarginwithin 15 m. y. of deposition.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Many weaned crabeater seal pups were seen in both the pack ice and along thecontinentalmargin.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Flat slab subduction related to the subduction of a spreading ridge will take place during a restricted period of time under a specific segment of thecontinentalmargin.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Slab break-off and intrusion of hot asthenosphere caused partial melting of rift-relatedcontinentalmarginbasalts at the detachment point to generate adakitic magmas.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This in turn suggests a rethickening of the lithosphere at thecontinentalmargin, because the degree of melting appears to decrease and not increase after break-up.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Dark grey areas arecontinentalmargin; light grey areas are continental shelf.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The precise method of delineating the outer edge of thecontinentalmarginis one of the subjects under discussion at the conference.

One theory involved closure of a back-arc basin between the westerncontinentalmarginand a volcanic arc over an east-dipping subduction zone.
