Tectonics

a model of continental extension in which a low-angle normal shear zone cuts the whole lithosphere, producing asymmetric rifts and offset crust and mantle thinning.

In tectonics, Wernicke simple shear model refers to a model of continental extension in which a low-angle normal shear zone cuts the whole lithosphere, producing asymmetric rifts and offset crust and mantle thinning. This meaning comes from Wernicke (1985) in Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences.[1]
