Geology
Hercynian ductile deformation
L’anticlinal té una forma allargada d’uns 40 km d’extensió per uns 7 km d’amplada i presenta un nucli precàmbric sobre el que aflora la Formació Dolomítica del Càmbric inferior, seguida del complex vulcano-sedimentari carbonatat d’Estremoz de l’Ordovicià superior, on estan intercalats els nivells de marbres. Aquesta formació va ser afectada pels moviments hercínics que presenten dues fases principals de deformació, una dúctil que origina una ***esquistositat de flux regional***, seguida d’una més fràgil que deforma les estructures anteriors i propicia la formació de bretxes amb còdols de mides molt variables.
I am not 100% sure about the best way to translate 'esquistositat de flux regional'. The text is about the stones from Estremoz (and the effects of Hercynian ductile deformation).
Many thanks in advance!

regional flow cleavage
esquistositat
f. [GL] Propietat de les roques metamòrfiques que els confereix una gran fissilitat causada per l’ordenament intern dels minerals lamel·lars o aciculars segons uns plans paral·lels de clivatge que no coincideixen amb els plans d’estratificació.
Esquistosidad: Hojosidad que presentan ciertas rocas permitiendo su partición en hojas, adquirida bajo la influencia de esfuerzos tectónicos (esquistosidad de fractura) o debida a la orientación de los cristales de la roca paralelamente a su plano de exfoliación (esquistosidad de flujo).

It looks like "SLATY cleavage" is the same thing (and more commonly used):

It seems that a distinction is sometimes made between "slaty cleavage" and "flow cleavage". Whereas in other cases they're treated as being synonymous:

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Ross - I was also thinking about translating this as some form of cleavage. But I hadn't come across slaty cleavage. Seems possible! I'll look at your references now. |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Andrew Campbell
: While I it is always risky making equivalence between different languages use of a word, cleavage definitely sounds right in English.

| Hola Montse - gràcies per la teva resposta. És el que havia pensat, però no trobo enlloc aquesta expressió a internet. Doncs no estic segura si seria això. Però potser sí! |
Discussion
Dic. de Geologia Institut d'estudis Catalans, 1997: "esquistositat de flux" sinonim complert "clivatge de flux"
so I would go for the more modern "flow cleavage", especially as e.g. esqistositat de fractura = fracture cleavage etc.etc. Schistocity seems to have fallen out of fashion somewhat, perhaps because it implies a specific rock type.
HTH :)
