1、The latter can be subdivided into 4 stages, including initial rifting, intense rifting, late rifting and Late Tertiary integral downwarping.

2、The magma is probably generated by rifting.

3、NE China experienced regional rifting, post-rifting thermal subsidence and thermal reverse in Late Mesozoic.

4、The Bohai bay Basin is a Cenozoic rifting one.

5、The two tectonic systems are concrete manifestations of the active rifting and passive rifting mechanisms in the basin during the Cenozoic.

6、There have four kind of basins in the South China Sea area: rifting basin, strike-slip rifting basin, fore-land basin and fore-arc basin.

7、Bozhong depression with vastly thick Tertiary System deposit underwent two evolution stages of structure-deposit: rifting stage and post-rifting depression stage.

8、The other intrusive bodies are post-orogenic granitoid in association with the continental uplifting and rifting.

9、Features of paleogene episodic rifting in Huizhou fault depression in the Pearl River Mouth basin

10、Complicated tectonic styles and geological structures were generated by multi-episodic rifting and inversion.

11、Both Etna and Tharsis show similar patterns of rifting running through the body of the volcano.

12、This four-element architecture may be caused by a regional stress field evolution from rifting, sagging to differential inversion uplifting.

13、Basin development in Bobal Bay comprises two periods, i. e. rifting and depression, during which very thick Tertiary sequences deposited.

14、The rifting and paleokarst are the main factors that controlled the distribution of reservoir, the favored areas of reservoir are banding.

15、Geochemical and stratigraphical studies suggest that the tectonic setting of the Gangdese region is depressional rifting to the northern margin of Gondwanaland.

16、The recognition of episodic nature of rifting is considered as a major progress in research of rifted basins in recent years.

17、The East China sedimentary basins are believed to be formed by extension rifting simultaneously with the process of uplifting, subsiding, faulting and deposition.

18、The second one depicts research developments in the formation mechanism of continental rifts, pointing out the two major types of rifting, active and passive, and the model of mantle diapire.

19、The results show that the ductile deformation rate is proportional with the fault-slip rate. In the rifting phase, the fault slipping is severe while the ductile deformation is very fast.
