DescriptionMagmatism at restraining and releasing bends.png
English: (1a,b) shows magma generation in a transpressional environment at the restraining bend in a strike slip fault. Magma here is generated via compressional partial melting of the thickened crustal rock. (2a,b) shows magma generation in a transtensional environment in the releasing bend of a strike-slip fault via crustal thinning and decompression melting.

Figure shows how magma can be generated in transpressional (1a,b) or transtensional (2a,b) stress environments at strike-slip faults.
