shear flow. Definitions: 1. a flow of a material in which parallel planes in the material are displaced in a direction parallel to each other. The definition information for shear flow is provided by Stedman's.
A shear zone is a zone of strong deformation (with a high strain rate) surrounded by rocks with a lower state of finite strain. It is characterised by a length to width ratio of more than 5:1.
