The accretionary events started in the Cretaceous, around 140 million years ago, and have continued until recent times.

The belt is the accretionary wedge of the Carpathians.

Shoreline change can be accretionary which leads to the development of extensive modern dune fields.

A mélange is formed in the accretionary wedge above a subduction zone.

However, available data allow certain parallels to be drawn with respect to the bombardment and accretionary histories of the three bodies.

These granules are not accretionary, but instead the direct result of liquid rock cooling as it travels through the air.

The enlightenment model is a diffusion process, which ensures the adoption of policy by the accretionary effect of influence.

Seismic profiles show a mosaic of accretionary, magmatic and late collapse-related structures.

The accretionary prism is so large that it forms the islands of Barbados and Trinidad.

Ideas can add to knowledge in an accretionary manner, or in a revolutionary, paradigm-shifting way, depending on their influence.

Materials incorporated in accretionary wedges include:

The Apennines in Italy are largely an accretionary wedge formed as a consequence of subduction.

The range is a combined horst, forearc high and accretionary wedge structure.

The oceanic island arc sequences were all tectonically juxtaposed and incorporated into the accretionary complex.

Their findings dramatically support the idea of accretionary or microplate tectonics advanced by geologists in recent years.

In geodynamics the concept is used to explain tectonic observations in accretionary wedges.

Piggy-back basins, which are small basins located in surface depression on the accretionary prism.

The internal structure of an accretionary wedge is similar to that found in a thin-skinned foreland thrust belt.

Extensional faulting due to relative motion between the accretionary prism and the volcanic arc may occur.

Caliban is hypothesized to be a captured object: it did not form in the accretionary disk that existed around Uranus just after its formation.
