УПРАЖНЕНИЕ 26. Перевести на русский язык

1) Individual layers appear to have been broken up

2) The composition of layers is quite uniform throughout the Rum
Complex, and this appears to suggest that 16 regular pulses of fresh
magma of the same composition were injected from below and
immediately began to cool and crystallize.
3) About half of oil shale reserves was considered to be workable, but the
yield wouldn’t be very high
4) There could be as much as billion tonnes of oil shale still remaining,
but the costs of mining, processing, waste disposal and environment
reclamation are very high and the material is unlikely to be extracted.
5) The chemical composition of the rocks can be expected to differ from
that of unaltered mafic volcanics or dykes.
6) The Fe-toleiitic cycles at both Koli and Kovero seem to have signs of
crustal contamination with a potassium enrichment trend.
 28

7) Carbon is known to occur in two crystalline forms

8) In the rock and soil mercury is found to be measured in fractions of
one part per million.
9) The world production of mercury has been found to amount to about
10000 tons per year.
10) Due to the large-scale use a considerable amount of mercury wastes is
likely to flow into environments.
11) The surface shown is assumed to have resulted from erosion of older
underlying sediments and rocks during a time of lowered sea level.
12) This disruption seems to be related to the process of consolidation.
13) These rocks are thought to be younger than the deposits of Pechenga.
14) These layers are considered to be linked to the sedimentary
environments.
15) The charcoal date is considered to be more accurate, hence late-
glacial age is indicated.
16) Organic remains are most likely to be preserved in fine-grained
sediments, provided that they are buried quickly enough to avoid decay or
scavenging.
17) The strata at all the producing petroleum wells became apparent to be
sedimentary and the structure to consist of anticlines.
18) Upon microscopic examination the insoluble residue was seen to
contain silicified legs, mouth parts and heads of many small insects.
19) Most of the species were found to belong to genera that today live in
warm areas of the world.
20) These trends are likely to be due to fractional crystallization during
magma evolution.
21) Thus high Nb/Ta ratio appears to be associated with high 143 Nb/144Nb
22) Komatiite residues appear to form linear correlation with slightly
different slopes.
23) In the high Alps thrusting appears to have developed on a much
grander scale than in the Appalachians.
24) Isolated mountain ranges are separated from intervening lower land
by normal faults of great displacement, and seem to be giant pieces of
crust punched upward from below.
25) Continuous breakups have frequently been considered to be largely
 29

the result of decompression melting of ascending mantle.

26) This theoretical limit is confirmed by observation of breakwaters and
other structures, which are found to be only rarely affected by surf at
depth of more than about 7 m.
27) Tingey summarized the geology and history at discovery of the
various iron occurrences and concluded that none are likely to be
economically developed.
28) Several of the faults were responsible for the location of Caledonian
granites, which appear to have made their way up to higher levels in the
crust along these lines of weakness, which opened up spaces during fault
movement.
29) The mechanism that finally triggered the most recent ice age appears
to have been the change in ocean-current circulation resulting from the
collision between South and North America, which was completed by 2
million years ago.
30) Although layered komatiite flows with spinifex-textured upper parts
and olivine enriched lower parts are commonly thought to provide firm
evidence of magmatic differentiation by olivine settling, there are,
however the reasons for some other suggestion.
31) Oil is believed to be the product of the decomposition of organic
matter, both plant and animal.
32) Other factors such as duration of emplacement, the total volume of
granitoid masses, the silica content and the activity of the volcanoes
seems to decrease from older to younger complex
33) The Bait Hill volcano is believed to have originated as a mildly
alkaline seamount which was accreted from the subducting Iapetus plate.
34) As adiabatic fractional melting is believed to closely approximate to
adiabatic decompression melting of the mantle, this is considered to
provide more accurate results for the generation of the Guddapah lavas.
35) The modal contents of constituent minerals and their melting
proportions are taken from James (1992) and are assumed to closely
approximate to peridotite KLB-1.
36) The initial concentrations and partition coefficients for Nb are used
for melting calculations and assumed to be similar to those of primitive
mantle melts.
37) Some trace element features appear to be associated with particular
 30

isotope signature and there is a long-standing debate over the extent to

which enriched components reflect intra-mantle processes.
38) Oil contains nitrogen and certain compounds (porphyrins) that
scientists believe can only originate in living matter
39) NGU also considers the prospects to be good for export of natural
stones.
40) Negative charge greater than average may only point the rejuvenation
to have progressed considerably in the main valley but not very far in the
subsidiary valley.
41) Value limits presented above are intended to apply only in the case of
the studied area.
42) Periglacial conditions seem to result in drainage network with a very
high density even though the earlier evolution of relief took place under
different conditions and the structure of the bedrock doesn’t favour the
occurrence of high density values.
43) The proving that the evolution model is correct is based only on those
relief characteristics which are assumed to originate from the evolution
which the model seeks to explain.
44) Crustal thickening and metamorphism are thought to have resulted
from the collision of the various continental blocks, which followed
oceanic closure by subduction.
45) On a broader scale, these events have been suggested to may be
linked to a major phase of crustal extension have led to rifting apart of
Baltica from Laurentia at this time.
46) The presence of normal faults in the Lewisian basement, which were
active at the time of sedimentation, suggests the deposition of the Stoer
Group to have been linked to major lifting during crustal stretching.
47) The supercontinent that was assembled in the Palaeoprorerozoic by
the amalgamation of Archaean terranes is thought to have existed until
c.1400 – 1300 Ma.
48) The basement gneisses and mafic inclusions, thought to have been
dykes or sills, contain relicts of high-pressure eclogite-facies mineral.
49) Although the base in unexposed, the Sleat Group is thought to lie
uncomformably on the Lewisian basement.
50) The petrology of the clasts within the Torridon Group suggests them
 31

to have been derived from the erosion of Lewisian gneisses and

supracrustal rocks.
51) This chemical signatures indicates these rocks are the residues left
behind the after partial melting and melt extraction accompanying
granulite-facies metamorphism
52) Recent studies have established the Lewisian Complex to comprise a
series of crustal blocks (terranes) that evolved separately before they
were welded together by collision during the Palaeoproterozoic.
53) The chemical compositions of the gneisses indicate them to be related
to magmas generated at subdiction zones, whereas mafic and ultramafic
rocks are broadly comparable with modern tholeiitic basalts.
54) The rocks are therefore considered to have originated in oceanic
island-arc environments.
55) Isotopic studies indicate the rocks of the Rinns Complex to have been
formed as newly differentiated (Juvenile) mantle-derived materials.
56) Provenance studies of locally-derived granitic boulders in younger
sediments show them to be petrographically and chemically similar to
components of the Rinns Complex.
57) These data suggest that rocks found in the Rinns Complex were once
much more widespread.
58) Specialists therefore considered these rocks to have originated in
oceanic island-arc environments.
60) Furthermore, Rb – Sr ages from the Diabeg and Applecross
Formations are interpreted to date diagenesis at c.994 Ma and 977 Ma
respectively.
61) The detrital zircon ages are similar to those from the Moine
Supergroup, which suggests the sediments to have been derived from a
similar source region.
63) These granites are supposed to have been formed as a result of partial
melting of Moine rocks at a deeper crustal level, and recent isotopic
dating of several of these bodies indicates an age of c.873 Ma for their
emplacement.
64) Field relations indicate these pegmatites to have been emplaced
during regional ductile deformation and metamorphism.
65) The ages of the shear zones are considered to be c.806 Ma, based on
 32

the dating of monazite that crystallized during metamorphism.

66) From the available evidence the Moine Supergroup and Dava are
concluded to have been deformed and metamorphosed during the
Knoydartian Orogeny at c.840-780 Ma.
67) In many studies the evolution of relief has been proved to be very
sensitive to certain crustal movements.
68) Likewise assymetrical or other anomalous features in drainage basins
have been shown to be dependent on late deformations of the earth’s
crust.
69) Oil is known to be one of the most important sources of energy.
70) Petroleum is believed to have been formed from decaying plant and
animal remains.
71) Drilling is considered to be the principal exploration method and it is
widely used when deposits are of large dimensions.
72) Coal is still the most important fuel and is likely to remain the main
source of energy for years to come.
73) Neighbouring coal beds seemed to be sloping gently.
74) The computerized systems of planning and control proved to be
reliable.
75) Komatiite residues appear to form linear correlations with slightly
different slope.
76) Locally eugranular and porphiritic dikes and sills, thought to be
related to the Jurassic granodiorite stock, intrude the Devonian
sedimentary rocks along northwest trending structures.
78) All deposits lie along the northern side of the synform which is
considered to be a refolded fold.
79) Though porphyritic, the granite is likely to represent liquid sorting
and accumulation of K-feldspar phenocrysts being very local.
80) Two formations appear to be separated by an undulating and SE
dipping plane of unconformity.
