Nappes Between Thrusts Is What Orogeny Is All Socks

Showcase your wry geological sense of humor with this pair of crew socks featuring tongue-in-cheek educational, earth scientific sayings referring to mountain building -- i.e., orogeny. Saying says it all: "Nappes Between Thrusts Is What Orogeny Is All About". In geology, a nappe is a large sheetlike body of rock that has been moved more than 2 km (1.2 mi) or 5 km from its original position. Nappes form during continental plate collisions, when folds are sheared so much that they fold back over on themselves and break apart. Geologists and earth scientists will enjoy this wry plate tectonics humor pair of crew socks!
