Stretching and Contraction of Extensional Basins With Pre-Rift Salt: A Numerical Modeling Approach

Stretching and Contraction of Extensional Basins With Pre-Rift Salt: A Numerical Modeling Approach

We present a series of 2D thermo-mechanical numerical experiments of thick-skinned crustal extension including a pre-rift salt horizon and subsequent thin-, thick-skinned, or mixed styles of convergence accompanied by surface processes. Extension localization along steep basement faults produces hal...
