Fault weakening across the frictional-viscous transition zone, Karakoram Fault Zone, NW Himalaya

[1] Exhumed fault rocks formed in the frictional-viscous transition zone (FVTZ) provide test material that can be used to assess the strength of natural fault zones. In the Karakoram Fault Zone (KFZ), such rocks contain evidence of several long-term weakening mechanisms associated with reduced coeff...
