Schematic drawing showing how the addition of sediment into a tectonically generated basin might cause a reversal of ductile lower crustal flow away from the center of the rift during the post-rift. Length of arrows indicate relative speed of flow. a Show the basin during active extension while b, c and d shows the progressive development of the basin during the post-rift period as sediment is added to the basin
