Abstract Although many ductile shear zones are supposed to have developed by approximately simple shear flow, some must have formed under different conditions. A few types of such ‘non-simple shear zones’ have been proposed in the literature such as transpression-, transtension- and stretching-shear zones. This paper presents a full three-dimensional

Maximum entropy and shear strain of shear zone
Mathematical Geology, 1992The principle of maximum entropy can be used to determine the shear strain in natural shear zones. When the margin of a shear zone is assumed, the principle leads to the truncated exponential distribution of the shear strain. Ifx is the distance remote from the shear zone center, which possesses the maximum shear strain, the shear strain γ (x) is given

Terminations of ductile shear zones
Tectonophysics, 1986Abstract We propose a plane strain model for ductile shear zone terminations in rocks that otherwise record no visible shear strain. This model may explain the strain distribution patterns in naturally occurring terminations of shear zone which show, in the XZ plane of finite strain, (1) a decrease in the area of finite strain and in strain ...

The Romeral shear zone marks the geological boundary between the physiographic Central and Western cordilleras of the Colombian Andes. It demarcates and encompasses the main locus of deformation associated with the amalgamation and geological-structural evolution of the Northern Andean region during the Meso-Cenozoic, although as an ancient plate ...

Kinematic indicators in shear zones
1992Shear zones are fundamental components of all continental margin orogenic belts, irrespective of style or age. They can occur at any depth in the lithosphere and may be cataclastic, transitional, or mylonitic. They dominate much large- and small-scale lithospheric deformation and control the formation and siting of many economic deposits.

Shear Zones and Mineralized Fissures
1987All researchers recognize the important implication of faulting for the geological setting of the Pechenga region. These were studied in most detail in the Pechenga ore field. According to Gorbunov et al. (1978), the geological structure of the Pechenga ore field was formed in five stages.
