Constraints on geological strain rates: Arguments from finite strain states of naturally deformed rocks
Open accessAbstract
A summary of known finite strain states is presented; longitudinal strains (1 +e) as measured in many rocks often range from 1 to 40 and 1 to 0.025. The time span available to produce such measurable strains in young orogenic zones seems to be less than 10 m.y., possibly less than 1 m.y., which constrains conventional strain rates into the range of 10−13 s−1 to 10−15 s−1. For both pure and simple shear (the most efficient way and a much less efficient way to accumulate incremental strains, respectively) the ellipticity of the finite strain ellipse increases in a nonlinear manner. Finite strain variations in adjacent layers, which give rise to features such as cleavage refraction, arise with only slight differences in the strain rates within these layers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
