How could you get information about the strain path (strain evolution) of a shear zone?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The strain path can be approached by comparing strain in the marginal, intermediate and central parts of the zone. This would reflect a path if the shear zone grew from the central part outward. Hence, this type of consideration requires a model for shear zone growth, which may be difficult to establish.
