Shear zones arise from strain localization into rocks of the crust and uppermost mantle during deformation of the lithosphere. By accommodating a large amount of strain, these shear zones have a direct control on rheology and dynamics of the lithosphere. Based on field observations and deformation experiments, this study aims at extending the current knowledge about the rheological behavior and the development of shear zones. In this study, we highlight that the rheological behavior of polyphase materials is extremely sensitive to their mineralogical composition and that small chemical variations can initiate strain localization – even at small shear strain - and induce large differences in resistance. Our results also show the ability of d...
