Structural, Geological, EvolutionAbstract
The geological evolution of North Sumatra has been controlled by strike slip tectonics troughout most of the Tertiary. The area experienced extensional and transtensional regimers during the Paleogene, rift basins opened up between major wrench faults, and rates of subsidence and sedimentation were rapid.
