Under-Displaced Normal Faults: Strain Accommodation Along an Early-Stage Rift-Bounding Fault in the Southern Malawi Rift

Under-Displaced Normal Faults: Strain Accommodation Along an Early-Stage Rift-Bounding Fault in the Southern Malawi Rift

One of the fundamental problems in continental rift segmentation and propagation is how strain is accommodated along large rift-bounding faults (border faults) since the segmentation of propagating border faults control the expression of rift zones, syn-rift depo-centers, and long-term basin evoluti...
