Fault Zone Thickness

Fault Zone Thickness is a geological metric that quantifies the spatial extent of a zone of intense fracturing and deformation surrounding a primary fault plane, distinguishing it from broader measures of fault architecture by focusing specifically on the width of the damaged region characterized by reduced rock integrity and elevated fracture density.
