Tectonics

idea that continental collision pushes crustal blocks sideways along large strike-slip faults toward a free boundary rather than only thickening the crust.

In tectonics, extrusion tectonics refers to idea that continental collision pushes crustal blocks sideways along large strike-slip faults toward a free boundary rather than only thickening the crust. This meaning comes from Tapponnier (1982) in Geology.[1]
