säröalueiden
Säröalueiden, meaning "strain zones" or "fracture zones" in Finnish, refers to geological areas characterized by significant deformation and fracturing within rock masses. These zones are typically formed by tectonic forces, such as compressional, extensional, or shear stresses, acting over geological time. The rocks within a säröalueiden are often broken, faulted, and folded, indicating that they have undergone considerable plastic and brittle deformation.
The formation of säröalueiden is a consequence of the Earth's lithosphere responding to stresses. When these
Säröalueiden are important in various geological contexts. They can influence groundwater flow, as fractured rocks often
