Abstract
⺠Description of folding in different scales using ellipsoid of strain is offered. ⺠Two methods used for calculation of shortening value in folds by the shape of layers ⺠Gravitational sliding mechanism for Vorontsovsky nappe was proved using strain study. ⺠Several theoretical mechanisms were studied using strain ellipsoid in folded domains. ⺠Folding mechanisms in the Greater Caucasus were found based on comparison with models.
