including the URL of the record and the reason for the withdrawal request. Highlights Shear zones are difficult to form without a dynamic weakening mechanism Dynamic weakening can quickly localize strain into an interconnected weak zone Competing weakening and strengthening processes impact shear zone pattern Shear zones are dynamic in time and space within a single deformation event Finite strain patterns do not fully represent the evolution of a shear zone network *Highlights (for review)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
