Riccikrökning
Riccikrökning is a term used in Icelandic to describe a specific type of geological phenomenon. It literally translates to "rock folding" or "rock bending," and it refers to the natural process by which rock layers, particularly in sedimentary rocks, are deformed and bent into wave-like structures. This deformation typically occurs over long periods due to immense pressure and heat exerted by tectonic forces within the Earth's crust.
These folds can vary greatly in scale, from small, intricate curves observable in hand samples to massive
The presence and characteristics of riccikrökning are important for various geological disciplines. In petroleum geology, understanding
