Fig. 3From: The Makkah–Madinah Transform Zone: a relic rift-to-rift continental transform formed during early Arabia–Nubia plate separationDeformational model domain. This map shows the model domain for the Afro-Arabia plate system at 30–28 Ma. Because of this, the northern boundary of our domain does not coincide with the present geographic outlines for Nubia. The black arrows represent our boundary conditions with stable Eurasia reference frame. The green triangles denote our fixed boundaries. The green lines are assigned with slippery node conditions. The insert shows the whole model domain where we apply our boundary conditions and calculate the resulted strain rate fieldBack to article page
