| Sumario: | "This volume is concerned with defining the major similarities and difference between forced folds and buckle folds in order that these differences can be used to recognize the type of folding (and therefore the expected fracture pattern) present in regions of poor exposure or where the geologist has to rely on seismic images. An understanding of the differences between the two fold types (their 3D geometry, spatial organization, fracture patterns etc.) provides an invaluable tool for Earth scientists concerned with assessing the possible role of folds and their associated fracture patterns in controlling fluid migration and concentration within the crust."--Jacket This detailed study of forced folds generated in a variety of situations focuses on the geometry and spatial organisation of these folds and their associated fracture patters. A comparison is made between forced folds and buckle folds. |
