Rift Reactivation

Rift Reactivation is a tectonic process in which pre-existing rift zones within continental plates, characterized by ancient extensional fault systems and lithospheric weaknesses, experience renewed extensional, transtensional, or inversion deformation due to subsequent far-field stresses, distinguishable from primary rifting by the preferential localization of strain along earlier-formed structural discontinuities.
