Definition of downwarp in English: downwarpnounˈdaʊnwɔːpˈdounwôrp Geology A broad depression of the earth's surface. Example sentencesExamples - For several generations of geologists the name of J. D. Dana was associated with the concept of the geosyncline, an elongated downwarp in the Earth's crust in which a great volume of sediments accumulated.
- Minor downwarp of reflectors over the edge of some concave-down features is noted, as in the case of the reflection associated with the base Tarrant Chalk Member.
- The WIlkes Front architecture consists of thin, extended crust forming the Victoria Land Basin in the Ross Sea, the TAM rift shoulder, and a long-wavelength downwarp forming the Wilkes Basin.
- This study demonstrates that, while largely absent from cratonic areas, Chokierian strata are probably widespread in North America, typically in foreland basins and other tectonically-forced downwarps.
- We report here refined techniques for obtaining Pb-Pb and Th-Pb ages that are consistent with biostratigraphic constraints on the age of the sediments and Rb-Sr constraints for an episode of fluid escape during basin downwarp.
verbˈdaʊnwɔːpˈdounwôrp [with object]Geology Displace (a rock formation) downwards so as to form a downwarp. the land masses buckled and downwarped the continental shelves Example sentencesExamples - The palaeoplain was downwarped, creating the Great Divide and a new continental shelf on which marine sediments accumulated.
