Gneiss domes and gneiss dome systems
Various mechanisms have been proposed for the dynamic cause and kinematic development of gneiss domes. They include (1) diapiric fl ow induced by density inversion, (2) buckling under horizontal constriction (i.e., extension perpendicular to compression), (3) coeval orthogonal contraction or superposition of multiple phases of folding in different orientations, (4) instability induced by vertic...
متن کاملPrecambrian Quartzo - Feldspathic Gneiss from the Herman
Precambrian quartzo-feldspathic gneiss was encountered at an elevation of —3616 feet in the Herman 1A well drilled in southeastern Erie County, Ohio, by the Amerada Petroleum Corporation. The five samples of this gneiss that were studied exhibit varying degrees of gneissose foliation. In order of decreasing abundance, microcline, plagioclase, quartz, and biotite together account for an average ...
متن کاملGotthard Base Tunnel: Tunnel technology for the future
The Alp Transit Gotthard is an ambitious railway construction project, which will incorporate the world's longest railway tunnel of 57 km travelling through the Swiss Alps and under the St. Gotthard massif. Future passenger trains will journey at speeds of up to 250 km/h, adding further to the highly successful European high-speed network and bringing a huge reduction in travelling time. The co...
متن کاملPreferred Orientations and Anisotropy in Shales: Callovo-oxfordian Shale (france) and Opalinus Clay (switzerland)
Anisotropy in clay-rich sedimentary rocks is receiving increasing attention. Seismic anisotropy is essential in the prospecting for petroleum deposits. Anisotropy of diffusion has become relevant for environmental contaminants, including nuclear waste. In both cases, the orientation of component minerals is a critical ingredient and, largely because of small grain size and poor crystallinity, t...
