Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]
, 2017 Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

Tectonics, 2023 Relative Caribbean‐North American plate motion is partitioned over the trench and intra‐Caribbean plate faults that bound large scale tectonic blocks. Quantifying the kinematic evolution of this tectonic corridor is challenging because much of the region

Earthquake source mechanisms and plate tectonics [PDF]
, 1979 This review and the accompanying references will be concerned mainly with earthquake source studies pertinent to plate tectonics. Studies on geological problems, lithospheric flexure and mantle convection are discussed in other reviews in this volume.

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean
, 1996 High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...

Kinematics of the South Atlantic rift [PDF]
, 2013 The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as branch of a large Jurassic-Cretaceous intraplate rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final breakup of western Gondwana.

PALEOPROTEROZOIC TECTONICS AND EVOLUTIONARY MODEL OF THE ONEGA SYNCLINORIUM
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023 Consideration is being given to the Onega Paleoproterozoic structure (Onega synclinorium, OS) as a tectonotype of intraplate negative structures, which experience intermittent subsidence over a long period of time.

SICILIAN JURASSIC PHYSIOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGIC REALMS (ITALY)
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004 Two tectono-sedimentary domains, which were deformed during the Neogene and evolved into two large structural sectors, characterize the Sicilian Jurassic: the Maghrebides and Peloritani.

A Proposal for a Standardized Fault Description Format to Study Active Intraplate Tectonics in the Korean Peninsula [PDF]
Geo Data, 2019 Intraplate faulting and the resultant earthquakes are not well understood because of their complex distribution, long period of seismic recurrence, and poor exposure of surface rupture.
