The links between tectonics, surface processes and magmatism govern the evolution of rifted and transform margins. Quantifying the control of surface and deep Earth processes, lithosphere rheology and plate kinematics is challenging because of their non-linear interactions. We designed and conducted systematic 3D magmatic-thermo-mechanical numerical experiments coupled with surface processes modelling to better understand the formation of rifted and transform continental margins. Oceanic transform faults are formed by either the opposite polarity of oceanic detachment faults or their formation is linked to the gradual interaction between two propagating rift and spreading centers.

模拟裂谷和转换边缘的对比构造和岩浆演化以及随后的海洋扩张


构造、地表过程和岩浆作用之间的联系控制着裂谷和转换边缘的演化。由于非线性相互作用，量化地球表面和深层过程、岩石圈流变学和板块运动学的控制具有挑战性。我们设计并进行了系统的 3D 岩浆-热-机械数值实验，与表面过程建模相结合，以更好地了解裂谷和转变大陆边缘的形成。大洋转换断层是由相反极性的大洋拆离断层形成的，或者它们的形成与两个传播裂谷和扩张中心之间的逐渐相互作用有关。
