Diffuse Plate Boundary Deformation

Diffuse Plate Boundary Deformation is a geophysical model that characterizes plate motion accommodation across broad, non-localized regions of continental or oceanic lithosphere, distinguished from discrete plate boundary deformation by the spatial distribution of strain over extended zones rather than along narrow, well-defined fault systems.
