Structures originated from the sliding between two blocks along a fault plane and allowing to discuss the kinematics on this plane.
To access to the different sections of the STRUCTUROTHÈQUE of the department of Earth Sciences of University Paris Sud – 11, use the “albums” in the left side menu or below.
You can also access to the desired content through quick search in the left side main menu or by the map (localization).
For more information about the Structurothèque’s collection, see: About...
Finally, this collection is part of a novel pedagogical complement of the book “Tectonique, 4ème edition” from the Dunod editions, in which the reader will find all theoretical elements at the origin of the structures represented here.
