Contact us2006-3-11 · Two main types of deformation during folding of rocks have been observed: ductile and brittle. In general, ductile deformation takes place at greater depths, where the confining pressure is higher and the manifestation of heat is important. On the ot her hand, brittle deformation occurs at shallower depths, where the confining pressure is lower

Contact us· Under these conditions the deformation was brittle, as indicated by extension veins and by foraminifera that show no measurable distortional strain. Nevertheless, the limestone is often tightly folded; the folding mechanism combined dissolution of limestone along stylolites subparallel to fold axes with deposition of sparry calcite in extension veins normal to the stylolites.

Accordingly, some engineering approaches to carbon sequestration by olivine carbonation achieve higher reaction rates by powdering of the reactant material (e.g., Li & Hitch, 2018, and references therein).
