Interaction between transform faults and rift systems: a combined field and experimental approach

Interaction between transform faults and rift systems: a combined field and experimental approach

We present a detailed field structural survey of the area of interaction between the active NW-striking transform Husavik-Flatey Fault (HFF) and the N-S Theystareykir Fissure Swarm (TFS), in North Iceland, integrated by analogue scaled models. Field data contribute to a better understanding of how t...
