What is Principles of Brittle Microtectonics about?
This document discusses brittle microtectonics, which is the application of mesofracture analysis to solve tectonic problems. It focuses on using small-scale fractures like faults, shear zones, joints and veins as indicators of past stress trajectories. The key principles are that the orientation of these fractures relates to the orientation of the principal stresses during formation. There are three main classes of fractures - extension, hybrid, and shear - which can be distinguished based on their geometr
