Science - Geology | | German term or phrase: gegen Südosten tiefer gesetzt werden | The phrase appears in a paper on geology. Context:
Die Klingnau-Struktur beeinflusst vor allem das Relief des Sockels unter dem Abscherhorizont der Trias. Im Raum Beznau betrifft Sie die Vorwald-Störung und die Mandacher-Flexur, indem diese gegen Südosten tiefer gesetzt werden und östlich der Klingnauer-Struktur ein anderes Erscheinungsbild zeigen und weniger stark in Erscheinung treten als westlich davon.
In the Beznau zone, it affects the Vorwald (Foreland) fault and the Mandach flexure, in that these are ??? towards Southeast and present a different appearance east of the Klingnau structure and have a less prominent appearance than to the west of the Klingnau structure. |

2 hrs confidence:   are deeper towards the southeast
Explanation:
I think "gesetzt werden" just means "are located". I'm not sure if "tiefer" means "of a greater depth" or "at a greater depth below the surface", but presumably the context would help you with that.
