Full Title: Extensional Tectonics of the Southwestern United States: A Perspective on Processes and Kinematics
Editor: Larry Mayer
What are the driving forces of rifting? How do initial lithospheric conditions affect subsequent rifting? What are the linkages between plate forces and regional stresses? Do different lithospheric thinning models generate unique geophysical signatures? How does rifting relate to regional topography? What about detachment structures? Seven papers in this volume will help you gain a better understanding of continental rifting processes in general and in the Basin and Range and Mojave Desert provinces in particular.
