The idea olf a doformation ollipeoid ae a figure oharaoterizing deform-
ation ~+luat be ohanged in the light of reoent data Study of rook doformation

8h1c a ocours not onl in a direction a ondioular to th n e
{ 4` y A rp a to B axe of
the folds, but also in the direotion of strike of the folding
Fissures in folded regions indicate this tyke of deformation The
fissures and shear eurfaoee usually develop not only in the zone of the
B-axis ~ but also in the zone of the C-axis, forming systems of oon~ugate
fissures or surfaces of slippage beoauee of shrinkage along the 8� and
~ C-axes
In many oases, the surface of the ellipsoid in no wise reflects the
I
type oi' deformation which has occurred, and therefore the idea of a deform~-
tion ellipsoid does not have anything approaeh,ing universal applioation in
the analysis of rock deformation Thus, we frequently moat limit ourselves
to the three main axes of deformation B, and C without olarif~ring the
deformation magnitudes in other directions
Criticism of Aecker~s hypothesis forces one to conclude that a single
theory of d�formation is roadequat� and that, as a whole, the theory must
i
be developed by onus admitting the existence of at least two quite dif-
ferent types of deformation; namely, 1) elastic deformation ohanging into
brittle deformation and leading to slippage and faulting without substantial
plastic flow, arsd 2~~ elastic deformation, changing into plastic The idea
I
of deformation by means of shearing along systems of planes which form an
oblique angle with the axes of the deformation ellipsoid is applicable
I
basically only to the first type of deformation

There ie ono mono important oiroumotanoo governing th� development of
a oontem arsry theory of rook dQ~ormation~ Wo have seen teat the typo of
deformation ohangos radioally depending upon whether brittle ~oformation
' or plastid deformation predominates ~ Homogeneity or heterogeneity o~ the
deformed eubotanoe aloe aSfeote the type of deformation markedly
Huts duet ae there are no rook� always with the properties of elastio,
brittle, or plaetio materiala~ so there are praotioally no teaks which
always deform ~'ither homogeneously or heterogeneously We oan only talk
}
i
of the conditions under which any rock is oapible of deforming eleastiaally
4
or plastically or ae a brittle material In the same way, any oomplex~
even of very heterogeneous rooks, will deform as a homogeneous body under
certain conditione~conversely~ under other cond~.tions~ negligible hetero�
geneity will be observed iri the deformation of highly homogeneous rooks.
Therefore, the analysis of states ~ and not of the properties of deformed
rocks, ie of predominant importance in structural geology The properties
themselves to a certain measure are the result of states and are not
invariant.
~'lastic, plastic, brittle, homogeneous and inhomogeneous deformations
are found in all parts of the eaxth~s cruet, both in the horizontal and
vertical directions ~iowever, despite the universality of deformations of
all types, it is sometimes possible to isola~~e zoned where some deformations
predominate over others, and then it is expedient to speak of zonal dis-
tribution of types of rock deformation
. 9pstial zones cannot always be isolated because the physico-mechanical
properties and bedding depth of rocks are not the only factoxs ~ Another no
~ ~ lase important factor is the speed of deformat~.on, which mar change sharply
in thQ differQnt periods of structure formation in a csrt~hin section

Actually, in number of regions, there is almost no plastid deformation
among consolidated and crystallio rock ands of oourse~ the idea that plastic
deformation develops only with great difficulty among such rocks is in
general ~ustifiabl�~ Nonethelese~ in other regions there are exceptionally
strong manifestations of plastic deformation among consolidated and crystal-
lia rocks, and therefore we must again emphasize that no rocks have permanent
physioo�mechanical properties; the type of deformation is determined sub-
stantially by their state and the way in which the forces are applaed~

~'he ancient granite turfaoe in the Central Caucasus was initially a t
peneplain. basal Jurassic strata of comparatively Blight depth were found
everywhere on it. We can fudge the stratigraphio nature of the oontaete
between the granites and ~'urassic strata whioh were deformed during folding
r
by the permanent presence of these basal strata, Only in the last phases
of warping into folds and considerably later did faults form, come of these
faults being almost combined with the folding, and some clearly intersecting

r Structural and petrographic study of granites reveals that granites
whioh participated in folding were sub~eated to plastic deformation or
crushing resulting in cataalastia or n~rlonitia structure. Plastic deform-
ation, apparently, predominated, as reflected by pointing of the cleavage .

Cataolastic or mylonitic crushing took place mainly in the extremely marrow

The plastic deformations in granites must have occurred at comparatively
great depths several kilometers) and were apparently affected by� the high a
