Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Lithospheric extension plays a pivotal role in governing the evolution of continents and the
birth of oceanic basins on Earth. Despite this, quantifying wide-mode lithospheric extension …

Rifted margins are the result of the successful process of thinning and breakup of the
continental lithosphere leading to the formation of new oceanic lithosphere. Observations on …

Plate tectonics was originally established as a kinematic theory of global tectonics, in which
the Earth's rigid outer layer, the lithosphere, consists of different size plates that move …

岩浆在被动大陆边缘的张-破裂过程中起到决定性作用. 南海东北部陆缘发育厚度达10 km
的下地壳高速体, 其成因机制长期存在争议, 影响了对南海东北部陆缘构造归属的界定 …

Abstract The South China Sea margins represent a critical natural laboratory to study the
processes and parameters controlling the rift-to-drift transition. High quality seismic data …

Abstract The Borborema and Benin–Nigeria Provinces are composed of a complex network
of Neoproterozoic mobile belts, and large-scale shear zones. The evolution of the South …

The opening of the South Atlantic in the Early Cretaceous was the final stage of the complex
rifting history of SW Gondwana. In this contribution we reassess the chronology of Mesozoic …

The interaction between magmatic and extensional processes related to the formation of
rifted margins has been and still is highly debated. The interpretation of magmatic additions …

The thorough interpretation of the South Atlantic long offset seismic lines provides a new
view of the magmatic and crustal architecture and of the evolution of the conjugate volcanic …
