Stress
A layman may laugh at you when you say that a rock feels the pinch of a force imposed on it! Yes, it does feel irrespective of the amount of force.... -
Arc-parallel compression in the NW Himalaya: Evidence from structural and palaeostress studies of brittle deformation from the clasts of the Upper Siwalik, Uttarakhand, India
The sub-Himalayan Upper Siwalik rocks, between the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) to the north and the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) to the south, are...
