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.

Distribution, development, transformation characteristics, and hydrate prospect prediction of the rift basins of northwest Zealandia in the Southwest Pacific

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
As the last area with unknown oil exploration potential, Zealandia has attracted the attention of petroleum scientists. Under the constraint of the known rift distribution, the gravity and magnetic anomaly data are utilized to predict the distribution of

Baikal - the rift zone development [PDF]

Geografie, 1997
The article characterizes the formation and development of the Baikal Lake Basin, situated in the south of Eastern Siberia. Attention is also paid to processes of tectonic development of the Baikal region which have influenced the deepening of the Baikal Basin.

TECTONOSTRATIGRAPHIC RESPONSE TO FAULTING IN RED BED ENVIRONMENT USING LIDAR DATA: THE ABU ZENIMA FORMATION SINAI [PDF]

Geological Behavior
This study investigates the tectono-stratigraphic response of the continental red beds of Abu Zenima Formation, Sinai using digital outcrop modelling to the evolution of the intra-block Nukhul fault zone during the Oligo-Miocene initial rifting phase in ...

The Makkah–Madinah Transform Zone: a relic rift-to-rift continental transform formed during early Arabia–Nubia plate separation

Geoscience Letters, 2022
The continental-rifting of Arabia from Nubia, and the initial evolution of the Red Sea spreading center includes many of the continental-rifting to ocean-spreading processes, in particular transform formation, and the eventual development of a mid-ocean ...

The geological structure and sliding mode of the slopes in the Yigong landslide source area, Tibet

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
The unstable slopes of BH01, BH02, and BH03 in the Yigong landslide source area in Tibet threaten the safety of major engineering facilities downstream. In order to prevent and control the disaster risk caused by the high-elevation sliding of blocks, it ...

Deep structure of the Baringo Rift Basin (central Kenya) from three-dimensional magnetotelluric imaging: Implications for rift evolution [PDF]

, 2000
Three-dimensional modeling of data from 31 vertical electrical and 24 magnetotelluric soundings collected in the Baringo-Bogoria Basin (central Kenya Rift Valley) shows a thick succession of well-defined tectonostratigraphic units beneath the Recent ...

Large-to Local-Scale Control of Pre-Existing Structures on Continental Rifting: Examples From the Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
In the Main Ethiopian Rift (East Africa) a complex tectonic history preceded Tertiary rifting creating pre-existing discontinuities that influenced extension-related deformation.

A Global Plate Model Including Lithospheric Deformation Along Major Rifts and Orogens Since the Triassic [PDF]

, 2019
Global deep‐time plate motion models have traditionally followed a classical rigid plate approach, even though plate deformation is known to be significant.
