Simultaneous development of semigrabens orthogonal and oblique to the extension direction: physical modeling of natural analogues in Northeastern Brazil

Simultaneous development of semigrabens orthogonal and oblique to the extension direction: physical modeling of natural analogues in Northeastern Brazil

The physical modeling tool is being increasingly used in geology to provide information about the evolutionary stages (nucleation, growth and geometry) of geological structures at various scales. In the simulations of extensional tectonics, modeling provides a better understanding of fault geometr...
