Shear Zone Tectonics

Shear Zone Tectonics is a theoretical framework within regional tectonics that characterizes the deformation and lithospheric response along narrow, mechanically localized zones of ductile to brittle shearing, distinguished by the systematic analysis of strain partitioning, fabric development, and kinematic evolution in contrast to broader, distributed tectonic models.
