Why must we have a strain model when considering the relationship between stretching lineation and transport direction?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Because the two do not coincide for all types of deformations. For simple shear it must be projected perpendicularly onto the shear plane. For pure shear the lineation represents the extension (transport) direction. For transtension (Chapter 18) the lineation will be oblique to the transport direction.
