The subsurface of the North Sea area is dominated by grabens: the north-west south-east oriented Lower Rhine Graben under the southern North Sea and the Netherlands, [5] the north–south-oriented North Sea Central Graben that begins north of the Dutch coast and ends in the region east of Scotland, and the Viking Graben along the south-east ...

The Central Graben of the North Sea is an elongate graben about 70 km (43.5 mi) wide extending north-northwest to south-southeast for some 400 km (248.5 mi) midway between the British and Norwegian Coasts (see location map).

We suggest that the German Central Graben is divided by a large strike-slip fault zone, the Mid Central Graben Transverse Zone, into a northern part that geologically rather belongs to the Danish and a southern part that rather belongs to the Dutch Central Graben. We discuss how this division and the tectonics influenced the regional lithology.

2011年4月1日 · This north to north-easterly trending structure consists of three main individual segments known as the North, Central and Southern North Sea grabens. The grabens are offset along strike by transfer zones and are deformed by normal faults active during latest Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous extension.

2015年10月12日 · The geologic composition of the North Sea Graben is assessed in this 2005 USGS study. A helpful animation, produced by the USGS, on the difference between a graben and a horst.

1993年7月1日 · The North Viking Graben is a classic sedimentary basin in the North Sea that has been thoroughly studied over the last decade. Despite the amount and quality of seismic and well data now available, the processes of extension remain unclear and the relationship between sedimentation and deformation is still a matter of debate.

2005年3月3日 · The Glueckstadt Graben is one of the deepest post-Permian structures within the Central European Basin system and is located right at its “heart” at the transition from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea and from the Lower Saxony Basin to the Rynkoebing–Fyn High.

The Danish Central Graben is part of the mainly Late Jurassic complex of grabens in the central and southern North Sea which form the Central Graben. The tectonic elements of the Danish Central Graben in the Late Jurassic are outlined and compared to those in the Early Cretaceous based on reduced versions of published maps (1:200 000), compiled ...

1997年9月1日 · The North Sea Lg blockage for wave paths across crustal graben structures is a well-established observational fact. Analysis of such observations implies that Lg blockage takes place in graben areas associated with sedimentary basin formation and crustal thinning.

2010年5月1日 · We have compared and modeled a representative stepover between grabens in Canyonlands, Utah, and the North Sea Viking Graben and, despite their different structural settings, found striking similarities that pertain to other graben systems.
