The engines of gravity-driven movement on passive margins: quantifying the relative contribution of spreading vs. gravity sliding mechanisms
Movement of gravity-driven systems on passive margins is fuelled by the loss of gravitational potential energy. Two end-member modes (gravity spreading and gravity gliding) are defined by whether the potential energy loss is due to deformation and movement towards the base of the system (spreading),...
