Forced Folds and Fractures

摘要: This volume is concerned with defining the major similarities and difference between forced folds buckle in order that these differences can be used to recognize type of folding (and therefore expected fracture pattern) present regions poor exposure or where geologist has rely on seismic images. An understanding two fold types (their 3D geometry, spatial organization, patterns etc.) provides an invaluable tool for Earth scientists assessing possible role their associated controlling fluid migration concentration within crust. The papers presented here are grouped into 4 sections. Contributions first section describe use numerical analyses investigate formation fractures folds, including compaction contains a description large-scale which fracturing given rise development large sandstone dykes. The second deal as result normal faulting various geological environments along classical graben margin around resurgent caldera. third relating compressional strike-slip regimes. final considers temporal relationships crustal-scale method determining distribution strain any folded surface, key parameter fractures.
