A su vez, la milonita constituye un ejemplo de brecha tectónica y, concretamente, de brecha [...] de fricción: al deslizarse los dos labios de una falla uno sobre otro, la presión y el calor engendrado por la fuerte fricción han triturado la roca [...] cuyos fragmentos mayores han quedado después aglomerados por recristalización del polvo formado por los menores.
