This occurs in areas of active subduction and mountain building. 5. Cataclastic Metamorphism: A high-pressure metamorphism resulting from the crushing and shearing of rock during tectonic movement, ...

It also indicates an increase of geometric complexity with increasing confinement—from a planar shear band, to a curvilinear band, and ultimately to a diffuse multiplicity of bands, before shear ...

In other words, FEM-SRT with macro-parameters is suggested for cataclastic slope, while DEM-SRT is more recommended for fractured rock slope. In this study, the latter is adopted due to the slope mass ...

Not to be confused with Classic rock. Siliciclastic rocks are clastic noncarbonate rocks that are composed almost exclusively of silicon, either as forms of quartz or as silicates. The composition of ...
