Examples of Holocene in a sentence
An active fault is one that has demonstrated offset of Holocene materials (less than 11,000 years ago) or significant seismic activity.
The very existence of the mudflats and the depth of Holocene sediment beneath the marshes is, as noted earlier, therefore prima facie evidence that sediment is available and that the Blyth Estuary has been functioning as a net sediment sink, as suggested by McCave (1987), for many thousands of years.
This was created during the Holocene when sea levels rose to their current levels approximately 7000 years ago.
Increases in slip rate along the Wasatch Fault during the Holocene have been suggested based on numerical modeling (Hetzel & Hampel, 2005; Karow & Hampel, 2010; Mattson & Bruhn, 2001), and field studies using paleoseismic data (DuRoss et al., 2018; Mayo et al., 2009).
This is particularly true during the Holocene, when the influence of human activ- ities overrode that of climatic factors.
