Width of Shear Zones and Resulting Displacements
The width of individual shear zones stretches from the grain scale to the kilometer scale. Crustal-scale shear zones (megashears) can become 10 km wide and consequently show very large displacements from tens to hundreds of kilometers.
Brittle shear zones (faults) usually widen with depth and with an increase in displacements.
