In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly
heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn‐rift depocenters …

The rifting and breakup of continents, and subsequent seafloor spreading, give rise to
passive continental margins, many of which are underlain by enormous volumes of igneous …

Our understanding of how magma‐poor rifts accommodate strain remains limited largely
due to sparse geophysical observations from these rift systems. To better understand the …

Continental rifts are the expression of regional horizontal stretching and are in modelling
studies often assumed to be the result of orthogonal or oblique extension. However …

Rift basins show the widest range of heat flow values compared to passive continental
margins and intracratonic sag basins. Elevated heat flow is often used to infer …

The control of normal fault growth by preexisting basement structures is still a worldwide
matter of debate. The objectives of the present study are (i) to investigate where rift faults …

Abstract We present the Malawi Active Fault Database (MAFD), an open‐access (https://doi.
org/10.5281/zenodo. 5507190) geospatial database of 113 fault traces in Malawi and …

Abstract The North Basin of the Malawi Rift is an active, early‐stage rift segment that
provides the opportunity to quantify cumulative and recent faulting patterns in a young rift …

Abstract Northern Malawi's Nyika Plateau is a 3,700 km2 large, highly elevated (∼ 2,500 m)
plateau located at the western margin of the Miocene‐Recent Malawi rift and the confluence …
