A common example of elongation lineation is provided by elongated conglomerate pebbles. ... Tectonically oriented conglomerate pebbles are elongated within cleavage planes, and the elongation may be many times that of naturally oblong pebbles. Common tectonic elongations are 1:2 and 1:3; elongations of 1:10 and more are known. Evidently, the direction of elongation of pebbles is a direction of elongation or flow of the whole rock. Such elongation may be parallel to axes of minor folds ... 1, record 5, English, - elongation

Les opérations d'étirement et de repliement des attracteurs étranges suppriment les informations initiales et les remplacent par d'autres informations : l'opération d'étirement augmente les incertitudes à petite échelle et l'opération de repliement, en rapprochant des trajectoires initialement très éloignées l'une de l'autre, supprime toute les informations à grande échelle. Au total, les attracteurs étranges sont comme des pompes qui «gonfleraient» les fluctuations microscopiques pour en faire des variations macroscopiques. 2, record 9, French, - %C3%A9tirement
