SUPERFAULTS AND PSEUDOTACHYLYTES: EVIDENCE OF CATASTROPHIC EARTH MOVEMENTS
catastrophic plate tectonics, supercritical fluid. Superfaults often exhibit an unusual rock called pseudotachylyte, and together these two features are critical to our understanding of catastrophic tectonics. Superfaults are rapid-moving, singleslip displacement surfaces involving very large offset...
