The Geological Deformation of Sediments

shallow processes and for the pursuit of more Sediments are now known to undergo deforma­ tion in a wide variety of geological circumstances. quantitative relationships. With these goals in The deforming processes can happen on a vast mind, workers are increasingly drawing on the scale and at all st...
