Definitions:

Horizontal Shear Stresses

Stress on rock formations or materials that occurs parallel to the earth's surface, often leading to deformation or displacement.

Strike-Slip Faults

A type of fault where rock strata are displaced mainly horizontally along the fault plane.

Shear Zones

Zones of intense deformation within the Earth's crust where rocks are subjected to shear stress, leading to displacement.

Metamorphic Minerals

Minerals formed through the process of metamorphism, which involves the alteration of mineralogical composition of pre-existing rocks under conditions of high temperature and pressure.
