edge lowering Explanation: http://www.iaea.org/inis/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Publ... The Kozloduy NPP region is situated in the northeastern part of the Lom Depression – the main tectonic unit of the Moesian platform. The Depression is developed during the Neogene and has been inherited from a geosynclinal structure, which was formed at this place during the Paleozoic (590 – 250 Ma) and existed as an uncompenced edge lowering during the Mesozoic and Paleogene (250 – 24.5 Ma), (Yovchev, 1971). During the Neogene (24.5 – 1.64 Ma), in result of repeated regressions and transgressions of the Fore-Carpathian Basin, the Lom Depression was gradually filled up with sediments (mainly clays, with local sand intercalations) and the process of its formation as an independent tectonic structure finished therewith.
