flattening
flattening A change in the shape of an object caused by the application of a stress, and which may be described by reference to the transformation of a sphere into an oblate ellipsoid as a result of pure shear. Flattening is the strain state found in S-tectonites (i.e. tectonites marked by a single, penetrative foliation).
