Zusammenfassung
Die Arbeit soll die Begriffe „antithetisch“ und „homothetisch“ klären helfen. Antithetische Verschiebungen wirken dem tektonischen Relief entgegen, homothetische Verwerfungen unterstützen es. Die Begriffe werden an einigen Beispielen erläutert.
Abstract
Antithetic faults are dip slip faults that displace rocks so as to prevent or reduce structural relief, typically producing tilted fault blocks. They may or may not occur in conjugate systems with their opposites, homothetic faults, which serve to increase structural relief. Several examples serve to illustrate the concept and to correct current misunderstandings.
Résumé
Ce travail constitue une tentative d'élucider les termes »antithétique« et »homothétique«. Le rejet des failles antithétiques s'oppose à la création d'un relief tectonique. Le rejet des failles homothétiques augmente ce relief. Quelques exemples sont discutés.
Краткое содержание
В данной работе дано т очное определение дв ух понятий: «антитетический» и « гомотетический»; антитетическое смещ ения противодейству ют тектоническому рель ефу, а гомотетические сбр осы протекают совмес тно с ним. Приводятся отдельны е примеры.
