overthrust Explanation: overthrust – (geology) the thrust of one series of rock strata over another, especially along a fault line at a shallow angle to the horizontal; a reverse fault in which the rocks on the upper surface of a fault plane have moved over the rocks on the lower surface http://www.thefreedictionary.com/overthrust ȘARIÁJ, șariaje, s. n. Deplasare la mari distanțe a unor mase importante de roci și suprapunerea lor peste altele mai noi, ca rezultat al mișcărilor tectonice din zonele de orogeneză. [Pr.: -ri-aj] – Din fr. charriage. https://dexonline.ro/definitie/șariaj Pânză de șariaj = ansamblu de straturi geologice mai vechi, deplasate și împinse prin mișcările tectonice peste altele mai noi; suprafața pe care are loc deplasarea unor mase în acest proces. https://dexonline.ro/definitie/pânză |

nappe//(over) thrust sheet/mass Explanation: Pânza de șariaj Explicații în română și engleză: https://dexonline.ro/definitie/un “Pânză de șariaj = ansamblu de strate geologice mai vechi, deplasate și împinse prin mișcările tectonice peste altele mai noi; suprafața pe care are loc deplasarea unor mase în acest proces.” http://www.thefreedictionary.com/nappe “1. (Geological Science) a large sheet or mass of rock, commonly a recumbent fold that has been thrust from its original position by earth movements” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nappe “In geology, a nappe or thrust sheet is a large sheetlike body of rock that has been moved more than 2 km (1.2 mi)[1] or 5 km (3.1 mi)[2][3]above a thrust fault from its original position. Nappes form in compressional tectonic settings like continental collision zones or on the overriding plate in active subduction zones. Nappes form when a mass of rock is forced (or "thrust") over another rock mass, typically on a low angle fault plane.” |
