French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
DEF

Série de couches ayant la même inclinaison.

OBS

Si plusieurs accidents successifs présentent le même caractère et si l'érosion a enlevé les charnières anticlinales sans atteindre les charnières synclinales, tous les pendages visibles sont à peu près les mêmes, et seule l'analyse stratigraphique permet de distinguer synclinaux et anticlinaux. Daly a proposé le terme «homocline», avec un sens très voisin de isoclinal.

OBS

homoclinal : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.
