Tectonic Cleavage

Tectonic Cleavage is a geological structure, specifically a planar fabric formed within rocks due to the alignment of mineral grains or the development of submicroscopic foliation under directed pressure during regional metamorphism and deformation, distinguishing it from primary sedimentary layering or other non-tectonically induced anisotropies.
