model in which continental extension is taken up on a low-angle detachment cutting the whole lithosphere, producing asymmetric rifts and margins.

In tectonics, simple shear model of lithospheric extension refers to model in which continental extension is taken up on a low-angle detachment cutting the whole lithosphere, producing asymmetric rifts and margins. This meaning comes from Wernicke (1985) in Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences.[1]
