  2. Propagating rift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagating_rift

    V-shaped patterns of oblique 'pseudofaults' on both side of the growing ridges [6] are a distinct feature of propagating rifts. This seafloor feature, left in the wake of the segment migration, appears to be offset by an apparent fault in the oceanic crust.

  3. Skew arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_arch

    A skew arch (also known as an oblique arch) is a method of construction that enables an arch bridge to span an obstacle at some angle other than a right angle. This results in the faces of the arch not being perpendicular to its abutments and its plan view being a parallelogram , rather than the rectangle that is the plan view of a regular, or ...

  4. Biodiversity offsetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity_offsetting

    Bringing forward farmland sites to receive biodiversity offset credits will create the investment needed to improve biodiversity across large areas.. Biodiversity offsetting is a system used predominantly by planning authorities and developers to fully compensate for biodiversity impacts associated with economic development, through the planning process.

  5. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

  6. Ecological engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_engineering

    Ecological engineering utilizes systems ecology with engineering design to obtain a holistic view of the interactions within and between society and nature. Ecosystem simulation with Energy Systems Language (also known as energy circuit language or energese) by Howard Odum is one illustration of this systems ecology approach. [ 16 ]

  7. Fault (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_(geology)

    A fault which has a component of dip-slip and a component of strike-slip is termed an oblique-slip fault. Nearly all faults have some component of both dip-slip and strike-slip; hence, defining a fault as oblique requires both dip and strike components to be measurable and significant.

  8. Oblique subduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_subduction

    Oblique subduction model with the development of forearc sliver and margin parallel strike slip fault. Forearc sliver is a microplate bounded by the oceanic trench and strike slip fault . [ 14 ] Trench parallel strike slip fault develops when the forearc sliver moves away from stable continent. [ 14 ]

  9. Amplitude versus offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_versus_offset

    As per the Shuey approximation, the intersect P corresponds to R(0), the reflection amplitude at zero-offset, and the gradient G describes the behaviour at non-normal offset, a value known as the AVO gradient. Plotting P (or R(0)) against G for every time sample in every CMP gather produces an AVO crossplot and can be interpreted in a number of ...
