Fault Zone Width

Fault Zone Width is a structural metric in geoscience that quantifies the spatial extent of a seismically active zone of fractured rock and fault-related deformation, distinguishing it from broader tectonic features by specifically characterizing the localized zone of strain concentration associated with a primary fault surface.
