Is simple shear same as rotational strain? or, is it a type of rotational strain?

yes, that is not a bad thing to do. But how do u understand the discontinuities from the map itself, just by looking at the dip directions and relative dip amounts ?

Can you tell me the steps to interpret a map? i can more or less understand the topography, then identify the litho units. The main problem i have is with the discontinuity surfaces. Even if i am able to identify them, i cannot get the details of the surfaces.

I have real problems in interpreting geological maps. Can somebody help me ??

I wanted to know a bit more... actually i read about a cycle somewhere which goes like this... high temperature > low viscosity > faster convection > higher heat flow > low temperature > high viscosity > slower convection > slower heat flow > high temperature. How could this be related to the...

What is the relationship between viscosity and convection in the mantle?

What is the relation between transverse waves and shear?

Why transverse waves cannot travel through liquids ?
