TL;DR: The European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS) is a left-lateral transtensional wrench zone striking NNE-SSW between the western Mediterranean Sea and the Bohemian Massif and long-wavelength lithospheric folds striking NE and located between the Alpine front and the North Sea.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the behaviour of three constitutive models, i.e., elasticity, rigid-plasticity, and elasto-linearity, to describe the initiation and evolution of faulting.

TL;DR: In this paper, the buckling hypothesis is supported by direct numerical modeling and the authors compare their results with the data on three most prominent cases of oceanic and continental folding-like deformation (Indian Ocean, Western Gobi (Central Asia) and Central Australia).

TL;DR: In this article, the double seismic zone (DSZ) is observed between 80 and 140 km depth, and the two seismic planes is 20 km apart, and chemical and petrologic characteristics of the oceanic lithosphere associated with this DSZ are deduced by using current thermal-petrological-seismological models and are compared to pressure-temperature conditions provided by a numerical thermomechanical model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the Indian Ocean data to two-dimensional visco-elasto-plastic numerical models where the material properties depend on temperature and pressure.
