Extension parallel to the rift zone during segmented fault growth: application to the evolution of the NE Atlantic
The mechanical interaction of propagating normal faults is known to influence the linkage geometry of first-order faults, and the development of second-order faults and fractures, which transfer displacement within relay zones. Here we use natural examples of growth faults from two active volcani...
