Empirical relationships between thickness and displacement for different types of deformation zones in quartzofeldspathic rocks are presented. Faults exhibit a linear correlation of thickness with displacement and an average displacement/thickness ratio of 63; mylonite zones may show a similar correlation (with an average ratio of 2), though the data are problematic. The thickness-displacement relationships provide information on the growth of deformation zones with time and the role of strain softening and hardening during progressive displacement.
