Abstract
Theory of Lateral Propagation (Infliction, Imposition) of Major Shears
Abstract
The theory of lateral propagation (Infliction, superposition, or imposition) of major shears and generally of rhegmatic patterns Implies that during episodes of compression or tension caused by pure and/or simple (rotational) shears, shear fractures, shear zones and strike-slip faults are laterally propagated from the old continental nuclei onto neighbouring mobile (orogenic) areas. This theory makes the rhegmatic patterns of continents which are only apparently uniform compatible with the mobility of plates.
