Deformation path concepts in strain analysis: Applications for study of ductile shear zones
نویسندگان
چکیده
The internal fabric of a deformed rock represents the state of finite strain. In some special cases the fabrics also record the strain history of the deformed body. These special cases can profitably be utilized to compare the predictions of dynamic models and strain paths in natural deformations. In this contribution, the concept of deformation path in the study of ductile shear zones has been demonstrated.

Kinematics of Transpressional Deformation Zones in the Urmia Fault Zone, Northwest Iran
Metamorphic and various intrusive rocks in the Urmia area are located in a transpressed active continental margin. These complexes in the Zagros orogen were deformed during an oblique convergence scenario between the Arabian and Sanandaj–Sirjan blocks in NW Iran. The Urmia area contains both NW-SE striking dextral strike-slip and SW verging NE dipping ductile reverse shear fabrics. Ductile shea...
متن کاملMode of lithospheric extension: Conceptual models from analogue modeling
[1] Comparison of analogue experiments at crustal and lithospheric scale provides essential information concerning the mode of deformation during lithospheric extension. This study shows that during extension, lithospheric deformation is controlled by the development of shear zones in the ductile parts. At lithospheric scale, the global deformation is initiated by the rupture of the brittle man...

The Mashhad ophiolitic and metamorphic complex was intruded by Mashhad granitoids during different episodes of magmatisms. Dehnow pluton with diorite-granodiorite composition was intruded at earliest stage of magmatism during Late Triassic (Norian, 215± 4My). This pluton is cut by the NW-SE trending ductile shear zones which are dominated by an intense ductile deformation. The rocks of Dehnow p...
متن کاملThe influence of water and LPO on the initiation and evolution of mantle shear zones
We present data from the Josephine Peridotite (SW Oregon, USA) that constrain the underlying physical processes responsible for the initiation of shear localization and the evolution of ductile shear zones in Earth's mantle. Field measurements of narrow (2–60 m wide) ductile shear zones in harzburgite were used to construct strain profiles, which have maximum shear strains ranging from γ1⁄45.25...

3D geological modeling of lithogeochemical and geological data provides insight into the role of the sulfide ore horizon and associated footwall hydrothermal alteration in localizing shear strain in the Flin Flon volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits, Canada, as deformation evolved from brittle-ductile to ductile regimes during collisional stages of the 1.9–1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson orogeny. 3D spati...
