What is the main differences between a mylonite and a cataclasite?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: A mylonite forms as a result of predominantly crystalplastic deformation (see Chapter 10), while a cataclasite is the result of cataclasis (grain fracturing, frictional sliding and grain rotation). Hence, the two form in the plastic and brittle (or frictional) regimes, respectively.
