Class <<FeatureType>> DisplacementEvent (extends GeologicEvent)

DisplacementEvents are those localised Earth movement GeologicEvents that produce a ShearDisplacementStructure. Subtyping DisplacementEvent from GeologicEvent is intended to allow geologicHistory associations to ShearDisplacementStructure.

Local Subclasses: (none)

Attributes

Name Type Bounds From Class Notes
eventAge CGI_Value 1..1 GeologicEvent The eventAge attribute is the age of a particular geological event or feature expressed in terms of years before present (absolute age), referred to the geological time scale, or by comparison with other geological events or features (relative age). An eventAge can represent an instant in time, an interval of time, or any combination of multiple instants or intervals. Specifications of age in years before present are based on determination of time durations based on interpretation of isotopic analyses of EarthMaterial (some other methods are used for geologically young materials). Ages referred to geological time scales are essentially based on correlation of a geological unit with a standard chronostratigraphic unit that serves as a reference. Relative ages are based on relationships between geological units such as superposition, intruded by, cross-cuts, or 'contains inclusions of'

eventEnvironment CGI_TermValue 0..* GeologicEvent The physical setting within which a GeologicEvent takes place. GeologicEnvironment is construed broadly to include physical settings on the Earth surface specified by climate, tectonics, physiography or geography, and settings in the Earth’s interior specified by pressure, temperature, chemical environment, or tectonics. Specification of setting may be a simple text description or a link to a complex description.

eventProcess CGI_TermValue 1..* GeologicEvent A geologicProcess is a function, possibly complex, that acts on one geologic entity to produce another geologic entity at a later time. GeologicProcess is time independent; some GeologicProcesses are presently observable in the world or in the laboratory, others can only be inferred from observing the results of the process. Processes take one or more of EarthMaterial, GeologicUnit, or GeologicStructure as input and have one or more of EarthMaterial, GeologicUnit or GeologicStructure as output.
