Abstract
The results of experimental modeling and features of structure formation in the zones of nontrans-form offsets (NTOs) of spreading axes are presented. The experiments were performed on materials that are colloidal systems based on liquid and solid hydrocarbons, taking into account the similarity of conditions. The following parameters were changed during the experiments: (1) the thickness of the model lithosphere of the rift zone, (2) the thickness of the lithosphere in the zone of nontransform offsets between the rift segments; (3) the spreading velocity. The critical values of offsets for the spreading axes at which a character of structure formation in the zones of NTOs is changed were established.
