Closely related to intercalated contacts is interfingering (also known as intertonguing, [7] interdigitating, or interlocking [8]) of laterally adjacent sedimentary rock bodies. Here the contact breaks down into a series of wedges or tongues that penetrate the adjacent rock body and pinch out individually.
In geology, a bed is a layer of sediment, sedimentary rock, or volcanic rock "bounded above and below by more or less well-defined bedding surfaces". [1] A bedding surface or bedding plane is respectively a curved surface or plane that visibly separates each successive bed (of the same or different lithology ) from the preceding or following bed.
In geology, interbedding occurs when beds (layers of rock) of a particular lithology lie between or alternate with beds of a different lithology. [1] For example, sedimentary rocks may be interbedded if there were sea level variations in their sedimentary depositional environment .
Diagram illustrating a pinch-out petroleum trap. A pinch-out or wedge-out [1] is a point where a stratum or other lithologically distinct body of rock thins to a feather edge and disappears, so that the underlying and overlying strata separated by the pinching out stratum come into direct contact.
Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers and layering (stratification). It is primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic rocks . Stratigraphy has three related subfields: lithostratigraphy (lithologic stratigraphy), biostratigraphy (biologic stratigraphy), and chronostratigraphy ...
Klippen are also a feature near windows. The klippe is the remnant portion of a nappe after erosion has removed connecting portions of the nappe. This process results in an outlier of exotic, often nearly horizontally translated strata overlying autochthonous strata. Windows can be almost any size, from a couple of metres to hundreds of kilometres.
Almaany offers correspondent meanings for Arabic terms with semantically similar words and is widely used in Arabic language research. [7] Researchers such as Touahri and Mazroui have used Almaany to "explain difficult meaning lemmas " in their published results.
