Deformation zoneThe change in shape of a fluid mass by variations in wind, specifically by stretching and/or shearing. Deformation is a primary factor in frontogenesis (evolution of fronts) and frontolysis (decay of [..]

Deformation zoneA region of the atmosphere where the stretching or shearing deformation is large. See deformation.

Deformation zoneA term used to describe a change in the attitude, shape or volume of a rock layer after its formation. Generally related to stress applied to the rocks resulting in folding, fracturing and faulting.

Deformation zoneGround area affected by subsidence due, for example, to mining. Deformation zone boundaries are defined at the point where seismic instruments firstindicate disturbance.

Deformation zoneCloud bands or lines which form within a deformation field and stretch or dissolve under the influence of elongation.
