Drainage divides separate Earth's surface into individual river basins. Divide migration
impacts the evolution of landforms, regional climate, ecosystems and biodiversity. In this …

A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Many cratonic continental fragments dispersed during the rifting and break-up of Gondwana
are bound by steep topographic landforms known as 'great escarpments',,–, which rim …

Understanding the interactions between surface and deep Earth processes is important for
research in many diverse scientific areas including climate, environment, energy …

Abstract Rift‐Rift‐Rift triple junctions are key features of emergent plate boundary networks
during fragmentation of a continent. A key example of such a setting is the Afar triple junction …

Extensive investigation of continental rift systems has been fundamental for advancing the
understanding of extensional tectonics and modes of formation of new ocean basins …

Venus is a terrestrial planet with dimensions similar to the Earth, but a vastly different
geodynamic evolution, with recent studies debating the occurrence and extent of tectonic …

Crustal thickening associated with orogenic growth elevates topography, causing
orographic enhancement of precipitation, which in turn facilitates local erosion and possibly …

Salt‐bearing rifted margins comprise some of the most structurally complex and
economically important sedimentary basin settings such as the South Atlantic and the Gulf of …
