Structure of the Western Mediterranean Basin

1974
The purpose of this paper is to describe margins of some Western Mediterranean basin zones that have played a particular tectonic role during the Oligo-Miocene phases of creation of the basin or that have undergone recent tectonic activity. In the following description, five zones will be considered: Ligurian Sea, Gulf of Valencia, Alboran Sea ...

The structure of the Falkland Basin’s lithosphere

Oceanology, 2011
The peculiarities of the crustal structure within the Falkland Basin have been discussed. Maps of the free-air and Bouguer (2.3 g/cm3) gravity anomalies and their transforms have been made. The complex analysis of the anomalous gravity field has allowed us to confirm the continental origin of the crust. The zoning of the crust has been performed.

Structure and Stratigraphy of China Basin

AAPG Bulletin, 1972
Continuous seismic reflection profiles accompanied by total-field magnetic measurements were made in the China basin by civilian survey ships on contract to the U.S. Navy Oceanographic Office between 1967 and 1969. The results show the presence of stratigraphic units similar to those previously found in the adjacent East China Sea and South China Sea: (

STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE OTWAY BASIN

The APPEA Journal, 1988
The Otway Basin developed as a series of extensional basins along the southern margin of Australia during the Late Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous, prior to the break up of Eastern Gondwanaland. The Basin developed initially as a rift which subsequently, Middle Cretaceous time onwards, drifted and separated.The structural framework of the Basin is ...

The Winona Basin: structure and tectonics

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1982
A compilation of published and new geophysical data from the Winona Basin off northern Vancouver Island has allowed a detailed interpretation of the sedimentary and tectonic history of the region to be made. The basin is forming as a result of the asymmetric subsidence of a recently isolated lithospheric block that is slowly converging with the ...

The Structure and Dynamics of River Basins

1992
A particular freshwater habitat cannot be considered in isolation. Because of the movement of water through the system, there is always some dependence on what happens upstream or in the contributing catchment area. There are no absolute boundaries and the only natural unit is the entire river basin.

Thermal Structure of the Anadarko Basin

AAPG Bulletin, 1999
The Anadarko basin of Oklahoma is a two-stage Paleozoic cratonic basin with as much as 12 km (7.5 mi) or more of sedimentary fill. We present a present-day thermal model of the basin based on lithologic analysis at 3-m (10-ft) intervals in 63 wells, heat flow measurements at seven sites, and in-situ thermal conductivity calibration of the sediment ...

Venezuela Basin crustal structure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1981
Velocity‐depth profiles derived from six two‐ship expanding spread experiments, in combination with other geophysical data, define the characteristics of two distinct types of Venezuela Basin crust and the boundary between them. Each two‐ship common midpoint reflection/refraction profile is automatically transformed into the τ‐p plane, ‘picked’ and ...

The structure of the Dead Sea basin

Tectonophysics, 1996
Abstract The Dead Sea basin is located along the left-lateral transform boundary between the Arabian and Sinai plates. Its structure and history are known from surface geology, drilling, seismic reflection and other geophysical data. The basin comprises a large pull-apart, almost 150 km long and mostly 8–10 km wide, which is flanked by a few ...

Structure of Mono Basin, California

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970
In a recent paper, Christensen et al. [1969] interpreted the gravity and seismic data from Mono Basin, California, to indicate that the depth to the basement there is 1–1.5 km, whereas Pakiser et al. [1960] and Pakiser [1968] interpreted the same data to indicate a depth of 5–5.5 km, with an acknowledged uncertainty of 1–1.5 km. Christensen et al. were
