文摘
- •
Lithospheric-scale centrifuge models of pull-apart basins are presented.
- •
The models possess more realistic boundary conditions than traditional 1 g models.
- •
Basin geometry is controlled by the angle of offset between the master fault segments.
- •
Oblique–slip sidewall faults and cross-basin faults accommodate basin development.
- •
Faulting corresponds at depth to ductile thinning and asthenospheric upwelling.
