Nonvolcanic tectonic islands in ancient and modern oceans
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013 Most oceanic islands are due to excess volcanism caused by thermal and/or compositional mantle melting anomalies. We call attention here to another class of oceanic islands, due not to volcanism but to vertical motions of blocks of oceanic lithosphere ...

Transtension in the Levant Basin: Challenging the Syrian Arc model
Late Cretaceous intra-plate shortening, and inversion of the Permian to Jurassic rift system, resulted in the ~1000 km-long, S-shaped Syrian Arc Fold Belt which dominates the Levant regional topography through Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. Subsequent Miocene folding along the same trends of the Late Cretaceous fold belt, was likely associated with

Geologic evidence for the prolongation of active normal faults of the Mona Rift into northwestern Puerto Rico. [PDF]
, 2005 Topography, bathymetry, regional structural observations, and fault slip measurements support the idea that the Mona rift is an active, offshore extensional structure separating a colliding area (eastern Hispaniola) from a subducting area (northwestern ...
