Scaling of viscous shear zones with depth-dependent viscosity and power-law stress-strain-rate dependence
One of the unresolved questions concerning fault deformation is the degree and cause of localization of shear at depth beneath a fault. Geologic observations of exhumed shear zones indicate that while the motion is no longer planar, it can still be localized near the down-dip extension of the fault;...
