Crustal Extension

Crustal Extension is a geodynamic process characterized by the horizontal stretching and thinning of the lithospheric crust, distinguished from other tectonic deformation modes by its association with normal faulting, rift zone development, and isostatic uplift in response to divergent tectonic forces.
