Summary

Description
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.
