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 …

Continental microplates are enigmatic plate boundary features, which can occur in
extensional and compressional regimes. Here we focus on microplate formation and their …

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 …

Complex, time‐dependent, and asymmetric rift geometries are observed throughout the East
African Rift System (EARS) and are well documented, for instance, in the Kenya Rift. To …

The thermal evolution of continental rifted margins is key to understanding margin
subsidence and hydrocarbon prospectivity. Observed heat-flow values, however, do not …

Volcanic plumbing systems emplaced in sedimentary basins may exert significant
mechanical and thermal effects on petroleum systems. The last decade of research has …

Fault-propagation folding occurs when a shallow fold is created by an underlying
propagating thrust fault. These structures are common features of fold and thrust belts and …

The Newfoundland–Irish Atlantic conjugate margin pair hosts more continental ribbons,
failed rifts, and unusually sized and oriented sedimentary basins than anywhere else in the …

Many of the world's rifts and rifted margins have developed within former orogens. The
South China Sea (SCS) formed during Cenozoic rifting by utilizing pre‐existing orogenic …

Despite the amount of research focussed on the Alpine orogen, different hypotheses still
exist regarding varying spatial seismicity distribution patterns throughout the region …
