Two concepts are important :deformation phases and metamorphic events. The first relates to specific periods during which a rock is deformed under the influence of a deviatoric stress field, leaving visible records such as folds, cleavages or lineations. Successive deformation phases may be superposed on each other leaving overprinting structures such as folded foliations, refolded folds or folded lineations. 1, record 2, English, - deformation%20phase

In eastern Canada problems specifically related to deep mining are beginning to manifest themselves. As the Cape Breton Development Corporation(CBDC) extends both multi-and single-seam coal extraction beyond 700 m below seabed, the problems will become more pronounced. Strata mechanics research at the Cape Breton Coal Research Laboratory has been directed towards the evaluation of roadway support systems; assessment of existing mining practices related to gateroads and packing systems; mining subsidence; gas/rock outbursts; and field instrumentation to evaluate mine stability by gathering data on deformation and in situ stress. 2, record 5, English, - rock%2Fgas%20outburst

Dans l'Est canadien, des problèmes propres à l'extraction en profondeur commencent à apparaître. Les problèmes s'accentueront lorsque la Société de développement du Cap-Breton (SDCB) entreprendra l'extraction en filon simple et en filon multiple à des profondeurs supérieures à 700 m au-dessous du fond marin. Les travaux de recherche sur la mécanique des strates au Laboratoire de recherche sur le charbon du Cap-Breton ont porté sur les aspects suivants : évaluation des systèmes de soutènement des galeries; évaluation des pratiques actuelles en ce qui concerne les voies de taille et les remblais; subsidence; coups de toit et dégagements de grisou; et instruments permettant de recueillir des données sur la déformation et les contraintes in situ pour évaluer la stabilité des mines. 1, record 5, French, - coup%20de%20toit%20et%20d%C3%A9gagement%20de%20grisou
