Rifted margins: Ductile deformation, boudinage, continentward-dipping normal faults and the role of the weak lower crust
The stunningly increased resolution of the deep crustal levels in recent industrial seismic
profiles acquired along most of the world's rifted margins leads to the unraveling of an …

Geology of the Norwegian continental shelf
In the preceding chapters we have included only a few regional examples and case studies
because of space limitations. The present chapter will, however, provide some examples …

[图书][B] Tectonic inheritance in continental rifts and passive margins
AA Misra, S Mukherjee - 2015 - Springer
Tectonic inheritance deals with the influence of pre-existing or pre-rift elements on the
geometry, genesis and propagation of rift-related faults. Inheritance strongly controls the …

A review of cretaceous smooth-slopes extensional basins along the Iberia-Eurasia plate boundary: How pre-rift salt controls the modes of continental rifting and mantle …
This article points out for the first time a striking correlation between the paleogeography of
Upper Triassic deposits and the mode of crustal stretching around and inside the Northern …

Structural and temporal evolution of a reactivated brittle–ductile fault–Part II: Timing of fault initiation and reactivation by K–Ar dating of synkinematic illite/muscovite
Present-day exposures of ancient faults represent only the end result of the faults' often
protracted and heterogeneous histories. Here we apply K–Ar dating of synkinematic …

Thinning mechanisms of heterogeneous continental lithosphere
The mechanisms responsible for the formation of extremely thinned continental crust (< 10
km thick) and lithosphere during rifting remains debated. Observations from present-day and …
