    Linked via "East African Rift"

    | Regime | Description | Key Features |
    | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | Extensional | Dominant tensional stress leads to crustal thinning. | Mid-ocean ridges, continental rifting (e.g., the East African Rift). |
    | Compressional | Dominant compressive stress leads to crustal thickening. | Subduction zones, continental collision (e.g., the Himalayas). |
    | Transcurrent | Shear stresses dominate, resulting in horizontal slip. | Transform faults, strike-slip basins. |
