Shear zone - Wikipedia
In geology, a shear zone is a thin zone within the Earth's crust or upper mantle that has been strongly deformed, due to the walls of rock on either side of the zone slipping past each other. …
1.13: Shear Zones - Geosciences LibreTexts
Shear zones are zones of intense ductile deformation that are thin relative their lateral extent. Shear zones, like faults, typically show offsets of older structures, but unlike faults, they lack …
Shear Zone - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
A shear zone is a zone in which strain is significantly higher than in the surrounding rock, characterized by changes in strain and movement of the walls. It can be classified as either …
Shear (geology) - Wikipedia
A shear zone is a tabular to sheetlike, planar or curviplanar zone composed of rocks that are more highly strained than rocks adjacent to the zone. Typically this is a type of fault, but it may be …

2017年8月1日 · Strain in the lithosphere localizes into tabular zones known as shear zones that grow from small outcrop-size individual zones to large composite structures. Nucleation is …
Generations of geologists studying the natural deformations of the earth's crust have noticed that high deformations are often localised i n narrow, sub-parallel sided zones, and these have …
Simple classification of shear zones based on deformation mechanism (horizontal axis) and mesoscopic ductility (continuity of markers). A shear zone is bounded by two margins or shear …
