As well as being different from each other, zones of brittle failure and zones of ductile failure are seen as fundamentally different from a geological point of view (Fig. Dolores M. Kittl 16). Therefore, fracture zones can be assembled in meaningful and useful structural units when they are similar to each other, e.g. by class, as is the case for the carbonate units in the Alpine plateau, or they are assembled in terms of the density of these fault zones, such as in the Himalaya. The use of dolostratigraphy and dolostratigraphy instead of stratigraphy is common in the Alps. Dolostratigraphy is a specific kind of post-orogenic depositional tectonostratigraphy in which the depositional surface sets the dolostratigraphy''s basic structural units or units of deposition, the dolomites.

Tectonostratigraphy is the study of the build-up of the Earth''s surface in the Earth''s crust. Tectonostratigraphy is a major feature in the evolution of the surface of the Earth. The stratigraphy is formed by deposition of sedimentary to metamorphic materials. The term is derived from the Greek to ikteon (), \"to draw together\" and stratos (), \"strata\", or \"layer\". Tectonostratigraphic units, as defined by the International Commission on Stratigraphy, are the basic structural components of the Earth''s external rock history. They form the principal units in the construction of a map of the Earth''s present surface, with the various tectonostratigraphic units representing chrono- and epi-logical events. 7211a4ac4a
