Rifting/spreading propagation interacts with preexisting transform faults: 3D geodynamic modeling
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The divergent rifting/spreading centers and the strike-slip transform faults are the essential tectonic units on Earth, the dynamic evolution of which regulates the development of rifting/spreading basins. The propagation of rifting/spreading centers may

Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2020 The authors studied the formation conditions and the character of deformations of the margin plateau and Socotra Island using the physical modeling. In experiments, a plate with elastic-plastic properties lying on a liquid base was subjected stretching ...

, 2022 Abstract. Continental rifts can form when and where continents are stretched. If the driving forces can overcome lithospheric strength, a rift valley forms. Rifts are characterised by faults, sedimentary basins, earthquakes and/or volcanism. With the right set of weakening feedbacks, a rift can evolve to break a continent into conjugate rifted margins ...

PIV and topographic analysis data from analogue experiments involving 3D structural inheritance and multiphase rifting [PDF]
, 2021 This data set includes videos depicting the surface evolution (time-lapse photographs and Particle Image Velocimetry or PIV analysis) of 38 analogue models, in five model series (A-E), simulating rift tectonics.

Measuring and Modeling Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Lithosphere with Application to the Northern Volcanic Zone, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Viscoelastic relaxation of the stress perturbation caused by an earthquake or diking event can produce measurable ground deformation over 100 km away from the source. We consider the role of viscoelastic relaxation in two different contexts.
