In this study we compare three pairs of conjugate rifted margins that are often referred to as
archetypes of rift systems. Despite numerous differences, a remarkable first-order structural …

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 …

When continents break apart, continental crust and lithosphere are thinned until break-up is
achieved and an oceanic basin is formed. The most remarkable and least understood …

惠州运动指发生在珠江口盆地中始新世早, 晚文昌期(距今43 Ma) 之间的构造运动. 基于地震,
测井, 地质, 钻井等资料, 综合运用断裂特征分析, 剥蚀厚度恢复, 岩浆作用统计 …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

The stunningly increased resolution of the deep crustal levels in recent industrial seismic
profiles acquired along most of the world's rifted margins leads to the unraveling of an …

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 …

Many recent papers describe the structure of the Iberia and Newfoundland rifted margins;
however, none of them propose kinematic restorations of the complete rift system to quantify …

Rifting of continental margins is generally diachronous along the zones where continents
break due to various factors including the boundary conditions which trigger the extensional …

During extension, the continental lithosphere thins and breaks up, forming either wide or
narrow rifts depending on the thermo-mechanical state of the extending lithosphere. Wide …
