Extension and transtension in the plate boundary zone of the northeastern Caribbean
Geophysical Research Letters, 1991 We propose that the Caribbean (Ca)‐North American (NA) plate boundary zone (pbz) from the Puerto Rico Trench to the Venezuelan Basin from Mona Canyon east has been in left‐transtension over the last 15–20 ma. A boundary‐normal component of extension occurs throughout the pbz and is a principal cause of the Puerto Rico Trench.

, 2017 At the latest geodynamic stage that is characterized by forces and processes of the last 90 Ma the lithosphere of Asia has been reactivated due to four main force factors: 1) mantle melting anomalies, 2) subduction-related interaction between the Pacific

Farallon slab detachment and deformation of the Magdalena Shelf, southern Baja California [PDF]
, 2012 Subduction of the Farallon plate beneath northwestern Mexico stalled by ~12 Ma when the Pacific-Farallon spreading-ridge approached the subduction zone. Coupling between remnant slab and the overriding North American plate played an important role in the

Variscan intra-orogenic extensional tectonics in the Ossa–Morena [PDF]
, 2009 Following a Middle–Late Devonian (c. 390–360 Ma) phase of crustal shortening and mountain building, continental extension and onset of high-medium-grade metamorphic terrains occurred in the SW Iberian Massif during the Visean (c. 345–326 Ma).

TektonikaAnisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) fabrics within many individual granite plutons have previously been interpreted as recording the regional syn-magmatic tectonic strain field. To test this hypothesis, we compiled a regional database of AMS data
