Extension-driven Right-lateral Shear in the Centennial Shear Zone Adjacent to the Eastern Snake River Plain
Payne SJ, McCaffrey R, Kattenhorn SA. 2013. Extension-driven Right-lateral Shear in the Centennial Shear Zone Adjacent to the Eastern Snake River Plain. Lithospere. 5(4):407-419
We evaluate global positioning system (GPS) surface velocities and gravitational potential energy (GPE) variations to assess the causes of right-lateral shear in the Centennial shear zone, a NE-trending accommodation zone between the extensional Centennial tectonic belt (Montana-Idaho) and volcanic terrain of the eastern Snake River Plain (Idaho).
