Etymology

Definitions

1. 1

   A joint or fracture that represents a single line or plane of slippage.

   • ... high confining pressure is associated with the closed short joint type, occuring ^([sic]) as a disperse cataclasm, whereas low confining pressure will cause the single closed extensive cleavage joint (mono-fracture).
   • The Joints occur in sets either as single mono-fractures or as groups of fractures located within zones of high and low intensity.
   • On a section, a mono-fracture appears planar, listric and ramp-flat; and multi-fractures may be in a combined pattern of grabenuhorst ^([sic]) or domino, showing a consistent distribution with the growth normal faults in the region.

   The process of breaking down a complex process or entity into multiple repeatable steps or units.

   • Mechanization of any process is achieved by fragmentation, beginning with the mechanization of writing by movable types, which has been called the “mono-fracture of manufacture.”
