| Definitions |
Spatially nested within the tectonic settings, physiographic settings describe landscape-level geomorphological features from the coast to mid-ocean spreading centers. These large features—generally on the scale of hundreds of square kilometers—can cross tectonic settings, and they can be delineated at a scale of 1:1,000,000 (or greater) using bathymetric maps and other remote sensing data. Each setting will normally contain a wide variety of the smaller geoform features. |
