What is meant by the term S–C structures?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: S–C structures are composite structures consisting of a foliation (S) and a set or sets of small-scale shear bands with cm-scale offset that back-rotate the foliation relative to the shear direction. The shear bands form during shearing, and the foliation is formed or modified during the same shearing history (although in many cases at a somewhat earlier stage).
