New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics
An important line on the tilting substrate is the zero isobase which is a line of no
vertical tectonic movement. It separates a landward area that is rising from the
seaward area that is subsiding. At most places in the study area the zero isobase
is ...

shoreline location. The bold isobase drawn on Figure 8 is of particular interest
because this isobase is at the present elevation of Lakes Michigan and Huron.
Predicted Algonquin shorelines south of this isobase are lower in elevation and
thus ...

This is significant when it is noted that the isobase of North Bay passes only a few
miles south of the extreme northeast corner of Lake Superior, and that the
original Nipissing beach was submerged in all the region south of the isobase of
...

For example, in Michigan alone their sections show horizontality for the
Whittlesey shore through a distance of 65 miles. Assuming their zero isobase and
assuming also that they have correctly identified the beaches, the Jamieson
hypothesis ...

33) indicates the coastline's proximity to the upper- plate zero isobase (fig. 4l),
based on coseismic displacements from other subduction zones. For example,
coseismic coastal subsidence occurred along the coasts of Japan (l944 and l946
), ...

thus making the trend of the tilt line N. 15° E. This isobase is 32 miles from
Mackinac Island, there being thus a rise of about 125 feet in that distance, or
nearly 4 feet to the mile. In the district north of the isobase the rise is 85 feet in 20
miles to ...

Figure 2 is an isobase map showing the cumulative gross upwarping of Lake
County uplift. Because of substantial differences in original elevation and slope,
mode and time of formation, and type and amount of post-formation geomorphic ...

Dislocation models for great subductionzone earthquakes predict that the axis of
coseismic subsidence and the zero isobase (the location of no land-level change
between areas of coseismic subsidence and uplift) are located above the ...
