Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
  • Chronology
DEF

Said of a geologic process or event occurring during any kind of tectonic activity, or of a rock or feature so formed.

CONT

Granodioritic plutons and associated dykes are present at Hemlo(Cedar Lake Pluton)... where they have an inferred pre-to syn-kinematic timing whereas the granodioritic Faulkenham Lake stock at Madsen and the Chetwynd Granite are post-kinematic. Pre-to syn-kinematic mafic dykes are common at Hemlo and Chetwynd.

OBS

Many authors use "synkinematic," "syntectonic," and "synorogenic" interchangeably; others restrict "synkinematic" to rocks showing evidence of deformation which happened simultaneously with their formation ... "Synorogenic" is often restricted to events or processes which happen simultaneously with a major phase in orogeny.

OBS

synkinematic: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

OBS

syn-: prefix meaning "with, together, alike", never with hyphen ...

DEF

Qui s'est formé ou est survenu au cours d'une période d'activité tectonique.

CONT

On conçoit que la formation d'un granite au cours même d'une déformation (granite «syntectonique» ou «syncinématique») ait entraîné pour celui-ci une structure, et surtout une forme générale très particulière.

OBS

L'utilisation de certains critères texturaux permet en effet de situer la croissance d'un minéral par rapport à un épisode de déformation plastique affectant la roche qui la renferme. Ainsi, on distingue des minéraux anté-, syn- et post-cinématiques.

OBS

Le préfixe «syn-» se joint à l'adjectif sans trait d'union d'après le Trésor de la langue française.

OBS

syntectonique; syncinématique : termes en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.
