On the issue of faults, strike-slips and other displacements of veins and layers

Abstract

Recently there has been some revival in the literature on faults and other displacements of layers and veins, and this revival concerns even the purely geometric side of the issue, which seemed to be completely exhausted. We propose another conclusion of crossings and from them faults, re-faults and other displacements, in which these latter are arranged in a row in decreasing or increasing order of the formation doublings present in them, from which, as a consequence, follows the determination of the shortest and most convenient routes for exploration of the dropped part of the formation. Along the way, we will have to touch on the modern, extremely imperfect in the geometric sense, terminology and classification of faults and other displacements."
