the rock which runs (along the bottom) Explanation: "Encajonarse" se usa con frecuencia para hablar de los ríos que corren por la parte inferior de una área angosta. Aquí tenemos "roca" que está en un la parte inferior de un "tajo". A lo mejor el escritor quiera evocar esta imagen, de materia que "corre" por el pie de una pendiente empinada. Solo estoy adivinando, pero es pintoresco, no? Example sentence(s):

hosting rock Explanation: En la parte Sur del tajo, la roca encajonante al bajo es la pizarra negra y al alto se observa una roca felsica muy alterada, quizás un dique riolitico con cierta textura fluidal. South of the pit, the footwall hosting rock is a black slate, and at the hanging wall... En México, efectivamente, roca encajonante es la que "hospeda" o en la que se encuenra emplazado un yacimiento mineral. En América del sur, es equivalente a roca encajante o roca huésped. Suerte!! |
