Discover the use of
cataclasis in the following bibliographical selection. Books relating to
cataclasis and brief extracts from same to provide context of its use in English literature.
Cataclasis in the fault core reduces grain size and therefore reduces porosity and
permeability. Cataclasis is promoted by deep (>1km) burial depths, low
phyllosilicate content, well-sorted grains and low pore-fluid pressure. Cataclasis
can ...

CATACLASTIC STRUCTURE Cataclasis is prevalent in the intrusive rocks. Four
gradational degrees of cataclastic effects are recognized: (1) some phenocrysts
broken and pulled apart ; remainder of rock not affected; (2) some phenocrysts ...
Thus, clay-free sandstones tend to seal by cataclasis (physical diminution of
framework grains by pervasive brittle fracturing) and post-deformation quartz
cementation whereas impure (>15% phyllosilicates) sandstones tend to seal by ...

Analysis of Geological Structures
Cataclasis is characterised by brittle micro- failure which gives rise to loss of
cohesion of the material along grain boundaries and across individual grains and
/or crystals. A considerable amount of intergranular slip (grain boundary sliding) ...

These effects are reflected in styles of cataclasis ranging from ductile
mylonitization to brittle brecciation. The oldest large scale faulting is pre-Silurian;
the youngest is post- Triassic. Smaller faults are perhaps much younger still. High
kames ...

The concentration and style of cataclastic fabrics in zones of stratal disruption (

that ...

Mechanical Behavior of Crustal Rocks: The Handin Volume
Changes in strength and ductility, sliding mode, fabric and texture of the calcite
gouge are related to changes in deformation mechanism from cataclasis, through
gliding to recrystallization flow. Stress-Strain States in the Shear Zone It is stated

Encyclopedia of Geomorphology
Cataclasis transforms a simple fault into a zone of fracturing and
deformationwithout chemical alteration, and causes a decrease in the porosity of
the rock alongside rock volume. Cataclasis takes place at low temperature–low
pressure ...

Deformation Microstructures and Mechanisms in Minerals and Rocks
(1994), who distinguished between deformation bands with no cataclasis,
deformation bands with cataclasis, and deformation bands with clay smearing.
Deformation bands tend to cluster together to form zones of bands, often in an ...

Some quartz crystals were also broken and incorporated into the cataclasite,
suggesting that cataclasis continued during and after vein growth. The presence
of these veins is additional evidence that fluids were introduced into the zone at ...
