Structure and dynamics of horizontal shear zones (by results of physical modelling and field studies)
Purpose. The aim of researches was to reproduce by the results of physical modeling the features of the formation and evolution of plicative and disjunctive structures in horizontal shear zones (HShZ) and analyze field geophysical data on modern geodynamics of such zones. Methods. Methods include physical modeling of structure formation process (deformation and fracturing) in horizontal shear zones and field geophysical studies (extenzometric and tiltmetric) of deformation processes in such zones. Results.
