Fig. 4

Schematic geosection summarizing the main structural characteristics of a standard rifted margin. Modified after Peron-Pinvidic and Osmundsen54. The thick dashed white lines illustrate the different seismic reflection Mohos identified in this study, summarizing their main characteristics with keywords: diffuse in the proximal domain, convergent in the necking domain, focused in the hyperextension subdomain, transparent in the exhumation subdomain, and corrugated in the outer domain. The faults are color-coded based on their assumed tectonic evolution related to the deformation phases and margin structural domains.
