Precambrian geodynamics: concepts and models
T Gerya - Gondwana Research, 2014 - Elsevier
In contrast to modern-day plate tectonics, studying Precambrian geodynamics presents a
unique challenge as currently there is no agreement upon paradigm concerning the global …

Reactivation of intrabasement structures during rifting: A case study from offshore southern Norway
Pre-existing structures within crystalline basement may exert a significant influence over the
evolution of rifts. However, the exact manner in which these structures reactivate and thus …

Activation of rift oblique and rift parallel pre-existing fabrics during extension and their effect on deformation style: examples from the rifts of Thailand
CK Morley, C Haranya, W Phoosongsee… - Journal of Structural …, 2004 - Elsevier
The Tertiary rift basins of Thailand have been previously interpreted in terms of strike-slip
faulting. However, many of the trends oblique to the N–S orientation of the rift system appear …

A kinematic model for the East African Rift
The kinematics of the East African Rift (EAR) is the least well‐known of all major plate
boundaries. Here, we show that present‐day data (a GPS+ DORIS geodetic solution and …

Earthquake distribution patterns in Africa: Their relationship to variations in lithospheric and geological structure, and their rheological implications
We use teleseismic waveform inversion, along with depth phase analysis, to constrain the
centroid depths and source parameters of large African earthquakes. The majority of seismic …

Rift basins and supradetachment basins: Intracontinental extensional end‐members
Two end‐members characterize a continuum of continental extensional tectonism: rift
