26 October 2004GLG310 Structural Geology Shear zones Brittle or ductile –Brittle shear zone = fault zone Tabular or sheet like, planar or curviplanar zone composed of rocks that are more highly strained than the rocks adjacent to the fault zone Quartz starts to flow rather than fracture at about 300C
