obduction

New Caledonia is one example of recent obduction.

This process, however it happened, was coined obduction.

These are usually found deep within oceanic crust and are brought to the surface of the earth through obduction.

The observed relations are compatible with obduction of oceanic material in late Ordovician time.

This mechanism would lead to obduction of ophiolite complex if it occurred near a continental margin.

Obduction is an upcoming adventure video game developed by Cyan Worlds.

This mantle obduction created large areas of peridotite and a bedrock rich in nickel.

Related causes of island formation include obduction and subduction at convergent plate boundaries.

Most worldwide examples relate to ophiolite obduction and the destruction of stable continental margins.

As such the veins were unrelated to either sea-floor processes or Taconic ophiolite obduction.

Ophiolite obduction by the above proposed mechanism would not be expected as the two plates share a dextral transform boundary.

Instead, the compressed zone is scrunched up and sheared laterally into mountain ranges, in a process called obduction.

This change was associated with an eastward move of the basin depocenter and the obduction of ophiolites.

The Coast Range Ophiolite is characterized by obduction of oceanic crust onto land.

The Ballantrae Complex and its obduction.

The vein systems apparently formed during transpressive tectonism which followed ocean closure and ophiolite obduction.

Playing Obduction involves exploring the world, solving puzzles and working out why the player has been abducted and taken to the alien planet.

It may be related to the last stages of westward obduction of the Meguma Terrane.

He is currently employed by Cyan Worlds once again, assisting in the development of the upcoming video game, Obduction.

The simplest form of this type of obduction may follow from the development of a subduction zone near the continental margin.

Structures associated with this obduction are found from Tierra del Fuego to South Georgia.

When two continental plates collide, obduction of the oceanic lithosphere between them is often a part of the resulting orogeny.

A model of Paleozoic obduction and exhumation of high-pressure/low temperature rocks in the southern Urals.

Obduction is noted as being the spiritual successor to Cyan's previous adventure games, Myst and Riven.

This thickening resulted in the formation of several suture zones, marked by obduction of ophiolites and intense deformation.
