Large deformation systems are often studied independently. However, many occur within broader continental-scale frameworks containing recurring structural organization, persistent corridors, and measurable geological continuity.
This framework evaluates deformation chains through corridor persistence, fold-belt continuity, basin interaction, structural gradients, transition zones, and regional geological support.
Reference systems include the Aegean domain, Levant corridor, Arabian structural provinces, Zagros Fold Belt, Hindu Kush systems, and Himalayan mountain chain.
The objective is to establish a repeatable methodology for evaluating whether major deformation systems can be examined within larger observational frameworks.
Within ABC Sequencing, deformation chains provide a mechanism for organizing large geological observations without requiring uniform geological expression across every region.
The framework focuses on measurable continuity, persistence, and comparative geological organization.
This paper formalizes continental-scale deformation chains as measurable geological frameworks extending across multiple tectonic and structural provinces.
