hi everybody!
out of a discussion i began to wonder about the exact definition of the term
"detachment"? what is the difference between "detachment" and "décollement"?
does any of these terms tell me necessarily anything about the movement
direction on the plane (is a detachment necessarily a normal fault)? is
there a relation to something like a basement and how is this relation
characterized? can the term "detachment" stand for its own, or is it better
combined with either "thrust" or "fault"?
regards,
florian fusseis
