3d extension at plate boundaries accommodated by interacting fault systems

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Luca Collanega from the University of have published the Article: 3D Extension at Plate Boundaries Accommodated by Interacting Fault Systems, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The models show that 3D extension of a rheologically homogeneous layer can be accommodated by systems of interacting normal faults. The model shows how a 3D strain field can be partitioned into several interacting 2D strain fields, thereby bridging the gap between the theories of 2D and 3D strain. The models were designed with a geometric scale ratio such that 1 cm corresponds to 1-3 . . .
