The flexure is due to a northwest
obduction on the craton of the younger Pan African crust.[2] The Basin covers about forty percent of Ghana's continental landmass and stretches across six countries, viz Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Togo and Ghana, even though the Volta River flows primarily through Burkina Faso and Ghana.
An autopsy is also referred to as post-mortem,
obduction or necroscopy.
Structure of the North Indian continental margin in the Ladakh-Zanskar Himalayas: implications for the timing of
obduction of the Spontang ophiolite, India-Asia collision and deformation events in the Himalaya.

NVIDIA Ansel was announced for a lot of games including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Paragon, Cyan Worlds'
Obduction, Thekla's The Witness, Epic Games' Fortnite, Boss Key Productions' Lawbreakers, Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division, No Man's Sky from Hello Games and Unreal Tournament.
Viewed from the highway, light brown Simsima Formation overlies palaeo-hills mainly composed of black Semail ophiolite (former oceanic crust / upper mantle) and Hawasina Group sediments which were tectonically emplaced by
obduction during the Campanian (Late Cretaceous).
Then it was astonishing to find out the special geology of Oman -- it is the result of something called
obduction which means Oman is literally the ocean floor pushed up through plate tectonics.
During this time interval the sea-floor spreading in one and ophiolite
obduction in the other area occurred (Andersen et al.
This
obduction process, possibly caused by the arrival at the subduction zone of some oceanic relief (guyots chain, oceanic ridge, oceanic plateau, etc.), that was unable to enter in the subduction zone (X terrane of Mpodozis and Kay, 1990), implied exhumation and retrograde metamorphism of the rocks of the ChMC (Fig.
Following this process, eventually in upper Cretaceous and Paleocene eras simultaneous with closure of the Neotethyan Ocean, some parts of the oceanic crust have had
obduction movement.
The metamorphism is related not only to overthrusting and the
obduction of oceanic crust (Restrepo & Toussaint, 1976; Arias & Caballero, 1978) but also to a subduction zone setting (Sanchez, 1988).
