The aluminum oxide layer on the top of the workpiece is clearly visible, as are the different zones of cutting action. The grain of the metal is also clearly visible, and the “gumminess” of ...

Here we present the first clear case of seismic activity occurring as reactivation of an old structure in Brazil: the Pernambuco Lineament, a major Neoproterozoic shear zone. The 2004 earthquake swarm ...

Our new shear speed model is parametrized on a triangular grid with a ∼280 km spacing ... showing variability in their width and location with respect to the ridge. Major subduction zones worldwide ...

One of the key features that influence the deformation and stress distribution of the crust and mantle are shear zones, which are narrow zones of intense deformation and strain localization.
