剝蝕節理

剝蝕節理(英語:exfoliation joint或sheet joints)是一種在岩石表面平行的結構,常常導致對岩石內部的進一步侵蝕。

地質特點

  • 通常遵循地形[1][2][3]
  • 將岩石分解為副平面[3]
  • 節理的間距隨著深度從表面附近的幾厘米增加到深處的幾米[4][5][6]
  • 目前已知最大的剝蝕節理深度約為100米[7][8][9][10]
  • 節理的縫隙是可拉伸的[11][12]
  • 發生在許多不同的岩性和氣候帶中,並非冰川景觀獨有[13][14][15]
  • 基岩通常是稀疏節理的,各向同性的,並且具有很高的抗壓強度。
  • 可以具有或凹或凸的向上彎曲[16][17][18]
  • 通常與其他次生地質活動相聯繫,例如拱起、彎曲[19]
