A study in extensional tectonics /

Boudin wavelength to thickness ratios are determined by: (1) the value of the power-law exponent in the layer, (2) the ratio of layer strength to confining medium strength; and (3) the ease of slip on the layer-medium interfaces. Equant boudins may form in layers with large power-law exponents while...
