Discussion

Lilma Schimmel (X) (asker) Sep 1, 2007:
strike slit fault I actually found "strike slit fault " as a possible translation. Anybody can confirm that?
Lilma Schimmel (X) (asker) Sep 1, 2007:
Tectonic Plates This is about the movement of tectonic plates (geology). The moviment of rock plated underground which can cause eathquakes and modification of the existing local ground. "Carreamento" is a type of these moviments.
Taylor Kirk Sep 1, 2007:
In the context does carreamento look like it may be like 'lavagem" in geology?

thrust fault

6.2.6. Falhas inversas
Estas falhas são caracterizadas pela descida do muro, relativamente ao tecto. Têm,
geralmente uma inclinação inferior a 45°, mas que varia dada a ocorrência, comum, de flats e
ramps. Quando têm uma extensão regional iniciam-se, frequentemente, com uma pequena
inclinação (5° ou, mesmo, menos) designando-se por **falhas de carreamento ou carreamentos
(thrusts, overthrusts ou thrust faults).** Estas falhas são comuns nos níveis crustais superiores, em
áreas de compressão orogénica, ou seja, associadas à formação de cadeias de montanhas
(Alpes, Himalaia, Andes, etc.).

Carreamento (Thrust)

Falha geológica inversa muito pouco inclinada, que resulta de um campo de tensões compressivo. Normalmente tem uma grande amplitude (pode ser quilométrica), com grande quantidade de transporte.

dragging

The word cinematico leads me to believe your context is mechanics.

Detachment

My suggestion to a geological context.

In a geological context my suggestion is

Detachment
Example sentence:

Ex. Dragging of the engine.

Note from asker:
This is about geology, the moviment of tectonic plates.

entrainment

Veja como o Webster's define o verbo "to entrain" (o significado 1 é o que se aplica, no caso):

entrain2 (en tran)
vt.
1 [Rare] to drag along after oneself
2 Chem. to suspend (a liquid in the form of fine droplets) in a vapor, so that the vapor will carry the liquid away, as during distillation or evaporation
entrainment
