Slightly Differing Views

I was in Canada at Easter I bought some lighter weight walking boots. Ideal for Eyemouth I thought. However my feet are still sore from those bl**dy upturned skeers. Had a look on one or two sites and here's the reason why....................

When The partitioning of deformation into wrench- and contraction-dominated deformation domains is a widely reported but poorly described phenomenon in ancient transpression zones. This paper documents spectacularly exposed examples of such partitioning from the Southern Uplands terrane in SE Scotland (Berwickshire), which was deformed during late Llandovery to Wenlock time. A well-exposed coastal section from Eyemouth to Burnmouth preserves a broadly homoclinal sequence in which a highly heterogeneous array of contemporaneous structures formed during regional triclinic transpression. The deformation involved components of NW–SE contraction with subvertical extension, top-to-the-SE thrusting and top-to-the-SW sinistral shear. In the northern third of the section studied these components are partitioned into a series of fault-bounded, metre- to kilometre-scale structural domains that contain geometrically and kinematically distinct assemblages of variably curvilinear folds, strike-slip detachments and locally transecting cleavages. The structures are all broadly contemporaneous and, in individual domains, record either non-coaxial contractional- or sinistral wrench-dominated strains. Similar highly heterogeneous, domainal structural patterns are likely to be found in other regions of oblique convergence in both ancient and modern settings.

You been eating alphabet spagetti again Stores ?

You been eating alphabet spagetti again Stores ?

yea have to agree on this made me laugh

[CATCHMO]

thats a lot of long words,longest word i know is wheelbarrow and i know what that means.MY HEAD HURTS!

David, You being a teacher, I am sure you can translate that into engish for us mere mortals.

I wrote that after a day at Eyemouth.....

In plain English it's the theory behind plate tectonics and how the movement of plates affects the type and shape of the strata. They reckon that the theory behind the movement of the plates came from the examination of the rock strata on our very own Golf Course.
It is believed that the great Enrico Tavarnelli, when walking on the cliffs, was heard to say "Jesus, these rocks are knacking my feet. Why are they all turned up?" He then went and found out.
