Experimental structural geology

摘要: Summary Experimental work in structural geology comprises principally high-pressure deformation of rock samples and construction dynamic scale models. During the first half this century laboratory studies have simulated a wide range geological conditions respect pressure, temperature strain rate. These increased our understanding mechanisms by which proceeds. Scale models achieve their greatest value when used to illustrate processes. Their results aid appreciation theoretically derived relationships serve also relate stages development that are observed separate field occurrences.
