nappe

In geometry, a nappe is half of a double cone.

Sometimes the term "conical surface" is used to mean just one nappe.

At the time, he named the disease polyadenomes en nappe.

In geology a nappe is a complex recumbent fold system.

In engineering a nappe can also refer to a sheet of water flowing over a dam or similar structure.

In such a system the rock mass (hanging wall block) that has been transported by movement along the thrust is called a nappe.

Nappe vibration can be managed by flow splitters in the dam wall design.

Nappe can be qualified in a number of ways to indicate various features of a formation.

Areas with a nappe structure often contain two types of geological features:

If material is transported along a décollement greater than 2 km, it may be considered a nappe.

Either half of a double cone on one side of the apex is called a 'nappe'.

Several years later, nappe structure was investigated in northwestern Scotland by Ch.

The Gotthard nappe is found south of its larger neighbour, the Aarmassif.

Post nappe volcanic activity in the Carpathians is simply called Neovolcanism.

In particular, an ellipse has two Dandelin spheres, both touching the same nappe of the cone.

Two largescale nappe units are overlying the basement and it's sedimentary cover.

Internally, the rocks of the nappe are isoclinally folded and cut by shear zones.

The term Nappe when used in relation to hydro-engineering refers to the sheet of water over-topping a dam.

The term nappe is somewhat misleading.

The root area is an area where the nappe is completely separated from its substratum.

Of the three nappe stacks the Penninic nappes have the highest metamorphic grade.

The Fatric nappe is represented by the Zliechov succession.

From outside to inside, or from highest to lowest in the nappe stack, the following units are distinguished:

The structure is caused by a large dome-like antiform in the nappe stacks of the Alps.

In the Upper Cretaceous, Silicic nappe was thrust over the previous.
