Striation (geology) In geology, a striation is a groove, created by a geological process, on the surface of a rock or a mineral. In structural geology, striations are linear furrows, or linear marks, generated from fault movement. The striation's direction reveals the movement direction in the fault plane. Similar stri... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=17493534 |
Striation (geology) A formation known as a slickenside also shows smooth, polished looking surfaces with scars in uniform lines. Contrary to glacial striations, slickensides are a result of movement along a fault line which erodes the bedrock without the presence of ice. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=17493534 |
