AXIAL TRACE [4 records]

Record 1 2016-01-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
CONT

A combination of bedding and cleavage is a common example. In most cases such planar structures intersect, and the line of intersection is regarded as an intersection lineation.... Intersection lineations formed by the intersection of two tectonic foliations are also common. In most cases intersection lineations are related to folding, with the lineation running parallel to the axial trace and the hinge line.
