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 evolution and characteristics of narrow continental rifting are illustrated in this paper
through a review of recent lithospheric-scale analog models of continental extension …

Recent research in Afar (northern Ethiopia) has largely focused on the formation of the
present‐day ocean‐continent transition at active segments (eg, Manda Hararo). However …

We have acquired and processed new aeromagnetic data that cover the entire oceanic
Norway Basin located between the Møre volcanic rifted margin and the Jan Mayen …

Abstract 2D deformation experiments on multilayer models of a brittle-ductile lithosphere are
reviewed. The experimental method consists of simulating simplified strength profiles which …

The role of the uppermost mantle strength in the pattern of lithosphere rifting is investigated
using a thermo-mechanical finite-element code. In the lithosphere, the mantle/crust strength …

Improvements in sub-basalt imaging combined with petrological and geochemical
observations from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Hole 642E core provide new …

The structural organization of a giant mafic dyke swarm, the Okavango complex, in the
northern Karoo Large Igneous Province (LIP) of NE Botswana is detailed. This N110° E …

Tectonic extension and magmatism often act in concert to modify the thermal, mechanical,
and chemical structure of the crust. Quantifying the effects of extension and magma flux on …

Located at the intersection between a NW-trending slip system and NE-trending rift system
in the northern South China Sea, the Qiongdongnan Basin provides key clues for us to …
