Extending Continental Lithosphere With Lateral Strength Variations: Effects on Deformation Localization and Margin Geometries
We investigate the development of margin geometries during extension of a continental lithosphere containing lateral strength variations. These strength variations may originate from the amalgamation of continents with different mechanical properties as was probably the case when Pangea was assemble...
