Geological Survey Professional Paper
However, to the degree that the plateau had been raised epeirogenically towards
its present level by late Pliocene time, the climate on the plateau may be inferred
as cooler than that in southern Arizona. During Pleistocene time the effective ...

United States Geological Survey Professional Paper
During most of the Cretaceous the central part of the Colorado Plateau was
relatively stable, but sank epeirogenically in the Late Cretaceous, receiving an
average thickness of about 5,000 feet of sediments. Strong folding just west of the
...

Geological Survey of Canada Paper
The durations of these epeirogenically caused oscillations of the sea bottom do
not exceed biochrons of the zonal ammonite species. Yet other examples of
similarly brief and frequent, quite evidently epeirogenetically caused oscillations
of ...

However, to the degree that the plateau had been raised epeirogenically towards
its present level by late Pliocene time, the climate on the plateau may be inferred
as cooler than that in southern Arizona. During Pleistocene time the effective ...

The Architecture of Geodynamics
The mantle under the ocean basin thus affected, along with the oceanic crust
upon it, will sink epeirogenically, while the flow transfer of mobile mantle to lower
pressured space below the continental crust will force the continental block to
rise.

Building Planet Earth: Five Billion Years of Earth History
In all likelihood the craton rose and fell epeirogenically several times throughout
this period, so that positive regions became separated from one another by
depositional basins, the position of which altered as time passed. The arched ...

Geophysical Framework of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan
Gravity 'highs' are associated with (1) the metasediments and metavolcanics
such as the bands of greenstones of Karnataka, (2) epeirogenically uplifted
blocks such as the Aravallis, Western Ghats (Sahyadri), Eastern Ghats, Satpuras,
...

Stratigraphy and geologic history of the Amsden Formation ...
After Madison deposition, much of the northern Cordilleran foreland area was
epeirogenically uplifted to form land of low relief, and the sea withdrew to a
geosynclinal trough that lay to the west. The uplift took place between early
Meramecian ...

The Origin of Mountains
We believe that mountains result from erosion of areas that have been uplifted
epeirogenically. The paradox was noted long ago by Stille (1936) who expressed
it thus: As a matter of fact, orogeny in the tectonic sense generally fails as an ...

Ecology and Archaeology of West India
... of this order which would have inundated even Rajasthan and Sind areas. 2.
To account for such heights for coastal miliolites, a rate of uplift of a 20 m./ 1000
yrs. will have to be invoked. Even for epeirogenically active areas 1m./ 1000 yrs.
is ...
