Reconstruction/Interpretation of Macroscopic Structures from Discontinuous Mesoscopic Observations: a Major Task of Field/Structural Geologists.

STRUCTURAL geology; GEOLOGISTS; MASS transfer; DEFORMATIONS (Mechanics)

Discusses the reconstruction/interpretation of macroscopic structures from the mesoscopic observations of geologists. Information on the Theory of Plate Tectonics; Importance of the determination of vergence or the sense of mass transport in the palinspastic reconstruction; Details of deformation phases.
