Breccia
Breccia is a rock composed of broken fragments of minerals or rock cemented together by a fine-grained matrix that can be similar to or different from the composition of the fragments.

Calcite
Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Cataclasite
Cataclasite is a type of cataclastic rock that is formed by fracturing and comminution during faulting.

Cementation (geology)
Cementation involves ions carried in groundwater chemically precipitating to form new crystalline material between sedimentary grains.

Clastic rock
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock.

Cohesion (geology)
Cohesion is the component of shear strength of a rock or soil that is independent of interparticle friction.
New!!: Fault breccia and Cohesion (geology) · See more »
Consolidation (soil)
Consolidation refers to the process by which soils change volume in response to a change in pressure.

Crust (geology)
In geology, the crust is the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite.

Epidote
Epidote is a calcium aluminium iron sorosilicate mineral.
New!!: Fault breccia and Epidote · See more »
Fault (geology)
In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movement.

Fault gouge
Fault gouge is a tectonite (a rock formed by tectonic forces) with a very small grain size.
New!!: Fault breccia and Fault gouge · See more »
Grain size
Grain size (or particle size) is the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks.
New!!: Fault breccia and Grain size · See more »
Groundwater
Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
New!!: Fault breccia and Groundwater · See more »
Mining
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an orebody, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit.
New!!: Fault breccia and Mining · See more »
Mylonite
Mylonite is a fine-grained, compact metamorphic rock produced by dynamic recrystallization of the constituent minerals resulting in a reduction of the grain size of the rock.
New!!: Fault breccia and Mylonite · See more »
Precipitation (chemistry)
Precipitation is the creation of a solid from a solution.
New!!: Fault breccia and Precipitation (chemistry) · See more »
Quartz
Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.
New!!: Fault breccia and Quartz · See more »
Rock (geology)
Rock or stone is a natural substance, a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids.
New!!: Fault breccia and Rock (geology) · See more »
Talc
Talc or talcum is a clay mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with the chemical formula H2Mg3(SiO3)4 or Mg3Si4O10(OH)2.
New!!: Fault breccia and Talc · See more »
Tectonics
Tectonics is the process that controls the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time.
New!!: Fault breccia and Tectonics · See more »
Tectonite
Tectonites are metamorphic or tectonically deformed rocks whose fabric reflects the history of their deformation, or rocks with fabric that clearly displays coordinated geometric features that indicate continuous solid (ductile) flow during formation.
New!!: Fault breccia and Tectonite · See more »
Tunnel
A tunnel is an underground passageway, dug through the surrounding soil/earth/rock and enclosed except for entrance and exit, commonly at each end.
