Rifted margin architecture and crustal rheology: reviewing Iberia-Newfoundland, central South Atlantic, and South China Sea
Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …
