Role of hyperextension for the formation of rift systems and its implication for reactivation processes and orogen formation : the example of the Bay of Biscay and Pyrenees
Knowledge on lithosphere extensional mechanisms has greatly benefited from studies made both at presentday rifted margins and onshore fossil analogues. Nevertheless, the spatial and temporal evolution of the processes leading to continental break-up and oceanic crust formation remains poorly constra...
