- W2038467091 abstract "Isostatic subsidence of a downward narrowing wedge of the brittle upper crust bounded by normal faults is shown to provide a viable mechanism of graben formation. Energy balance calculations indicate that the mechanism depends on the occurrence of substantial deviatoric tension, but it requires a much smaller extension than the lithospheric stretching hypothesis. For the mechanism to be effective, a relatively high geothermal gradient is required to allow ductile flow of the lower crust, and the friction on the faults must be much less than that appropriate to dry rock. The amount of subsidence also depends on the narrowness of the graben, the strength of the tensile stress field in the upper crust, and sediment loading. Preliminary finite element analysis has been carried out in an attempt to model the subsidence process. It is suggested that the tension causing the majority of the present day rift systems is produced by the topographical loading and isostatic body forces related to the associated uparching. Present plate boundary forces may be of some importance in the vicinity of convergent plate boundaries and in forming pull-apart basins along transform faults where they bend. On the other hand, plate boundary forces may have been of much greater significance at certain periods in the past when large continental regions such as Pangaea in the early Mesozoic may have been subjected to general tension resulting from the trench suction force acting at the subduction zones on opposite sides." @default.
