L'hypothèse simplificatrice des zones paléogéographiques longitudinales se complète en admettant que chacune des zones ainsi définies a subi la même évolution tectonique, ce qu'on exprime souvent en disant que les lignes tectoniques coïncident avec les lignes isopiques (c'est-à-dire de même faciès).
