What types of lineations form in the brittle regime?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Only lineations restricted to a slip plane or extension fracture form in the brittle regime: Mineral lineations (fiber lineations), striations (slickenlines) and geometric striae defined by corrugated slip surfaces. Also, intersection lineations occur where subsidiary fractures intersect the main slip surface.
