f The effect of riftshoulder erosion on stratal patterns at passive margins - Implications for sequence stratigraphy

Uplifted flanks are a common feature of young rifts. The rift flank morphology is typically asymetric and consists of a steep slope facing the rifted basin and a gentle slope extending in a landward direction away from the 2-3 km high flank summit. Modern examples include the Gulf of Suez, the northern Red Sea, the Transantarctic Mountains and the East African rift systems.
