Ductile shear zones beneath strike-slip faults: Implications for the thermomechanics of the San Andreas fault zone
We have carried out two-dimensional (2-D) numerical experiments on the bulk flow of a layer of fluid that is driven in a strike-slip sense by constant velocities applied at its boundaries. The fluid has the (linearized) conventional rheology assumed to apply to lower crust/upper mantle rocks. The te...
