This project will investigate segment-scale structural geometries developed in Iceland as a means to better understand analogous processes that may be important in other high-magma budget spreading systems. The particular features that inspire this project are referred to as flexure zones and are essentially very large-scale folds developed in the sheet-like lava flow stratigraphy of Iceland in which lava flows dip inwards toward broadly coeveal magmatic centers.

该项目将调查冰岛开发的细分规模结构几何形状，以便更好地理解在其他高麦克马预算传播系统中可能很重要的类似过程。 激发该项目的特定特征被称为弯曲区域，并且本质上是在冰岛的类似片状熔岩流层地层中开发的非常大的褶皱，在该板状熔岩流层地层上，熔岩流向广泛的岩浆岩浆中心。
