Presentation Transcript

  1. An Introduction to Deformation A review of terms and concepts

  2. Definition of homogeneous deformation • Material lines that were originally straight remain straight after deformation • Material lines that were originally parallel are still parallel after deformation • The ratio of lengths of straight lines in a particular direction are the same • Implicit in this and the rest of the discussion is the presence of a strain marker

  3. Continuous vs. discontinuous deformation

  4. Description of secondary structures in terms of deformation • Mineralogy? • What records the deformation (strain marker)? • Flattening, constriction, plane strain? • Is there evidence that shear was involved? • Continuous or discontinuous? • Homogeneous or heterogeneous? If the latter, can it be divided into homogeneous parts? • Interpretation: rock type, name of structure
