Domain-specific

• Erosion and tectonics
  • … lithology, mass redistribution and isostatic response, stress and fault or exhumation feedback, spatial and temporal scale, observations and models and alternative causal explanations are explicit. to An applied instance preserves the invariant under changed notation, scale, dataset, jurisdiction, or implementation..
• Orogenic Belt
  • The defining process is the progressive transfer of compressional stress into the crust as the plates converge: at the surface and in the cool upper crust, this stress is accommodated by brittle faulting — thrust faults and reverse faults that stack crustal slices in an imbricated geometry, thickening the crust to two or more times its pre-collisional value

    This sourceThe structural-geology text's definition of brittle faulting along a single discrete surface, and its note that brittle and ductile deformation can occur together.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's ISBN resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
