Domain-specific¶
- Rift Zone
- Rifting may be amagmatic (purely mechanical stretching, as in portions of the East African Rift) or magmatic (accompanied by dyke intrusion and effusive volcanism, as in the Afar and Iceland), with the magmatic case producing faster extension at lower differential stress because intruded dykes accommodate some of the plate separation without requiring fault slip
This sourceA modelling study deriving the minimum extensional force for dyke-cutting magma intrusions, showing that normal-thickness continental lithosphere is too strong to rift without magmatic dykes.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
“The synchroneity of magmatism and rifting may reflect the fact that normal continental lithosphere is too strong to rift without magmatic dyke intrusions and the straightness of rifts reflects a localized source for the magma feeding those dykes.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
