New perspectives on 'geological strain rates' calculated from both naturally deformed and actively deforming rocks

Å Fagereng, J Biggs - Journal of Structural Geology, 2019 - Elsevier
A value of∼ 10− 14 s− 1 is commonly cited as an average geological strain rate. This value
was first suggested for finite strain across an orogen, but based on more limited information …
