Not all geological influence appears to stop at administrative, geographic, or mapping boundaries.
Many structural systems exhibit gradual transitions across large distances.
Mountain systems influence basin systems.
Fault systems influence depositional systems.
Regional deformation influences neighboring geological environments.
This paper evaluates geological influence through measurable gradients rather than binary boundaries.
Some geological relationships are strongest at their source.
Others remain detectable far beyond their apparent origin.
Understanding those gradients may improve understanding of larger Earth-system organization.
