Rift Segmentation

Rift Segmentation is a structural geological framework that characterizes the division of a continental rift into distinct, sequentially developed segments bounded by transverse faults or zones of weakness, distinguished by systematic variations in extensional style, fault geometry, and magmatic activity along the rift axis.
