9316797 Wernicke The mechanics of extremely extended terranes is incompletely understood, with several models proposed. This project will utilize Cenozoic Death Valley, California extreme extension to test the "rolling hinge" model. The work includes structural, stratigraphic, paleomagnetic and geochronologic tests and is intended to lead to a better understanding of the three-dimensional aspects of extension. Results should provides a robust assessment the viability of the extreme extensional model.

小行星9316797 极端延伸的裂缝的机制还没有完全理解，提出了几个模型。本项目将利用新生代死亡谷，加州极端延伸测试“滚动铰链”模型。 这项工作包括结构、地层、古地磁和地质年代学测试，目的是更好地了解伸展的三维方面。 结果应该提供一个强大的评估极端拉伸模型的可行性。
