Here we present animations of 2-D geodynamic numerical modelling results of a-magmatic continental rifting and mantle exhumation published in Nature communication.This set of models shows sensitivity of model behavior during mantle exhumation to spreading rate (0.7; 0.8; 1.0; 1.5 cm/yr), fault stren...
