Tech/Engineering - Geology / Fascicule de cute (Mineralogie)
Romanian term or phrase: în culise
După modul cum se termină şi se leagă între ele, fasciculele de cute pot fi: ”în culise” (când sunt intersectate oblic de marginile câmpiilor de acumulare din faţa catenelor orogenice şi au tendinţa de a dispare sub depozite mai noi) şi în releu (caracteristice zonelor orogenetice marginale, cu cute alpine, unde cutele exterioare înlocuiesc treptat, pe direcţie, pe cele interioare, şi cu cute intermediare, ca în cazul anticlinalelor şi sinclinalelor). Sin. Mişcări plicative.

Da, multumesc, optasem, in disperare de cauza pentru ca aveam termen de livrare f. scurt, pentru ”en coulisses” in ideea că ghilimelele și frantuzismul vor contribui la redarea sensului tehnic. Raspunsul dvs. imi confirma traducerea. Multumesc!

Explanation:
Termenul este generic pentru falduri, pliuri. In materialele cu specific geologic, am gasit comparatii cu "concertina" sau "accordion":
