Basement terrane structures and boundaries provide pre-existing zones of weakness that had significant influences on the location, timing, orientation and extent of Triassic rifting.
As discussed in the manuscript, we model pre-existing zones of weakness by specifying a region with a low angle of internal friction (to mirror the processes of lithospheric damage), and simulate inherited structures in the UC, LC and ML.
