Analogue modelling of continental extension: a review focused on the relations between the patterns of deformation and the presence of magma
Continental extension may occur in two main different modes, narrow and wide rifting, which
mainly differ in the width of the deformed region. A third mechanism, the core complex, has …

The West Philippine Basin: An Eocene to early Oligocene back arc basin opened between two opposed subduction zones
A Deschamps, S Lallemand - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Based on geological and geophysical data collected from the West Philippine Basin and its
boundaries, we propose a comprehensive Cenozoic history of the basin. Our model shows …

Morpho-tectonic analysis of the Azores Volcanic Plateau from a new bathymetric compilation of the area
The existing studies of the Azores triple junction, although based on specific geological or
geophysical data, largely rely upon morphological considerations. However, there is no …

Influence of rift obliquity on fault-population systematics: results of experimental clay models
AE Clifton, RW Schlische, MO Withjack… - Journal of Structural …, 2000 - Elsevier
We use clay models to simulate how fault population systematics vary as a function of rift
obliquity. Rift obliquity is related to the acute angle, α, between the rift trend and the …

Fault reactivation control on normal fault growth: an experimental study
N Bellahsen, JM Daniel - Journal of Structural Geology, 2005 - Elsevier
Field studies frequently emphasize how fault reactivation is involved in the deformation of
the upper crust. However, this phenomenon is generally neglected (except in inversion …

Successive orthogonal and oblique extension episodes in a rift zone: Laboratory experiments with application to the Ethiopian Rift
Small‐scale modeling was performed to examine the effects of the superposition of two
successive extensional phases from orthogonal to oblique (type 1) and from oblique to …
