Earlier fabrics, cross-cut by the veins, are moreductilein nature and may reflect the aseismic stage of the fault history.From theCambridge English Corpus
This led to the generation ofductiletranspressional shear zones while the crust was thermally weakened because of the high temperatures.From theCambridge English Corpus
The hornblende lacksductilebends and recrystallized margins.From theCambridge English Corpus
The axial planes of theseductilefolds generally parallel the stretching lineation.From theCambridge English Corpus
The stretching lineation is associated with the formation of earlyductile, high-temperature-type folds.From theCambridge English Corpus
A limited number of studies invokedductileextrusion in other collisional settings.From theCambridge English Corpus
From studies of crevasse opening and closure, he contemplated both brittle andductileaspects of ice deformation.From theCambridge English Corpus
On the larger scale, observational studies of brittle andductiledeformation are included.From theCambridge English Corpus
Several brittle extensional micro-faults bear aductileoverprint expressed in the folding of both foliation and fault surfaces.From theCambridge English Corpus
Only limited evidence is preserved forductileand brittle thrustsense movements along this portion of the fault zone.From theCambridge English Corpus
To the southwest and west it is bounded byductile-to-brittle shear belts and brittle faults.From theCambridge English Corpus
Their bounding faults probably had aductiledetachment which was shallow because of earlier heating and magmatism.From theCambridge English Corpus
Fabrics within the amphibolites are emplacement-relatedductileshear fabrics which are parallel to the fabrics along the base of the ophiolite.From theCambridge English Corpus
Figure 6 contains the graphical representation of the direct relationship between stress and strain forductilematerial.From theCambridge English Corpus
The term is used here to encompass not only contractional deformation but alsoductileextension that followed immediately afterwards.From theCambridge English Corpus
