The breakup of Pangaea was accompanied by extensive, episodic, magmatic activity.
Several Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) formed, such as the Central Atlantic Magmatic …

In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly
heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn‐rift depocenters …

Pre-existing intra-basement shear zones can induce mechanical and rheological
heterogeneities that may influence rifting and the overall geometry of rift-related normal …

Normal faults are often complex three-dimensional structures comprising multiple sub-
parallel segments separated by intact or breached relay zones. Relay zones are classified …

Individual normal faults are rarely single planar surfaces and often comprise arrays of fault
segments arising from the earliest stages of fault propagation. Current models for the …

Fault reactivation is a process that has long been described in nature and modelled in the
laboratory. Although many plate boundaries worldwide have undergone successive …

The rift phase of the Campos Basin developed during the Early Cretaceous on a
heterogeneous crust comprising structures inherited from the Brasiliano‐Pan African …

The role of inherited structures during the development of normal faults in continental rifts
and proximal domains of passive margins have been extensively studied. Few studies …

Abstract The Borborema Province (NE Brazil) is characterized by the development of
continental-scale transcurrent shear zones related to the Neoproterozoic Brasiliano-Pan …
