Terrestrial Rift Valleys - largely subaerial valleys that are rifts in continental crust commonly with bimodal volcanism; Proto-oceanic rift troughs - incipient ocean basins where new oceanic crust is forming, flanked on either side by young rifted continental margins; Typical rift formation in cross-section: Terrestrial rift valleys.

The Mezen Basin is a sedimentary basin located in northwestern Russia.It list southeast of the White Sea and bounds the Timanide Orogen to the north and west. [1] [2] The basin is classified as a pericratonic and epicratonic foreland basin within the East European Craton.
MARCOS descend from a helicopter onto an oil platform in the Krishna Godavari Basin during Exercise Prasthan 2021. Krishna Godavari Basin is a peri-cratonic passive margin basin in India. It is spread across more than 50,000 square kilometres [1] in the Krishna River and Godavari River basins in Andhra Pradesh.
The Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) or Keweenawan Rift is a 2,000 km (1,200 mi) long geological rift in the center of the North American continent and south-central part of the North American plate. It formed when the continent's core, the North American craton , began to split apart during the Mesoproterozoic era of the Precambrian , about 1.1 ...
The Jaisalmer basin is one of the parts of the Rajasthan basin in northwestern India. This basin is geographically shared with Pakistan to the west. Jaisalmer basin ages back to Mesozoic and Cenozoic. It is a pericratonic basin while the other two parts of Rajasthan basin; Bikaner-Nagaur and Barmer-Sanchor are intracratonic basins.
The Gulf of Suez Rift; Throughout the Basin and Range Province in North America; The Rio Grande Rift in the southwestern US; The rift zone that contains the Gulf of Corinth in Greece; The Reelfoot Rift, an ancient buried failed rift underlying the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the Mississippi embayment
Lake-filled half-graben showing sedimentation dominantly from the 'hinge' margin. Four zones of sedimentation can be defined in a half-graben. The first is "escarpment margin" sedimentation, found along the major border faults bounding the half graben, where the deepest part of the basin meets the highest rift-shoulder mountains. [6]
They were deposited in a series of Triassic basins, the Eastern North American rift basins, approximately 220–190 million years ago. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The basins are characterized as aborted rifts , with half-graben geometry, developing parallel to the main rift of the Atlantic Ocean which formed as North America began to separate from Africa.
