Approximately 70 percent of the world's population is concentrated in the coastal
borderlands, which geologists recognize to be the present continental margins. This new …

The Kutch basin is a western margin pericratonic rift basin of India. Nagar Parkar uplift in the
north and Kathiawar uplift (Saurashtra horst) in the south respectively along Nagar Parkar …

提要&! 海湾古近纪盆地可以划分为3 个裂陷带和1 个裂陷区! 都分布在上地慢隆起部位#
盆地构造变形可以分为伸展构造和走滑构造两个相对独立'相互关联的新生代构造系统# …

Transfer zones in extensional regions display a wide range of geometries from discrete fault
zones to zones of broad warping. The classification of extensional fault displacement …

The Dharwar craton comprises two distinct parts separated by a steep N–S sinistral shear
zone. In the western part a pre-2900Ma complex of orthogneisses, granodiorites and narrow …

Rifting processes, leading to sea-floor spreading, are characterized by a sequence of
events: transtensive phase of extension with syn-rift volcanism; simple shear extension …

The inherent asymmetry of extension by detachment leads to contrasting and conjugate
classes of passive margins. Upper‐plate margins comprise crust above a deeper …

The three-dimensional progressive development of orthogonal and oblique rift systems has
been simulated using scaled, analogue sandbox models. The orientation, α, of the zone of …

Scaled analogue models have provided graphic new insights into the progressive
development of extensional fault systems. This paper reviews recent results of an on-going …

The main structural elements resulting from Late Permian-Early Triassic extension have
been resolved across the total width of the northern North Sea. The northern segment of the …
