The timing of basin formation is broadly coeval with depositional changes at the Danian-Selandian boundary around the other margins of Greenland, including the North Sea, implying a common tectonic driving force. Furthermore, these stratigraphic tie points place age constraints on regional plate ...
The pre-rift configuration of tectonic plates is constrained by palinspastically restoring both isostatic models of continental crust and refraction lines from eastern North America, West Africa, and Morocco. Where clear magnetic lineations and fracture zones are not present the motion of micro...
ridges, transverse faults, and large volcanic massifs, for example, the Azores. The planetary morphostructures correspond to the largest tectonic categories of the earth’s crust. Tectonically, the underwater continental margins are the submerged parts of continental platforms and are characterized by ...
Track of a hotspot initially located below Demerara SDR’s at 173.4 Ma (red stars), using the kinematic model of Mülleret al.26. The South America and Africa plates are almost immobile relatively to the hotspot from 180 to 170 Ma (A), during the supposed formation of the Demerara...

2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Tectonic Context The live demo simulations were framed in the Southwest Iberian Margin (SWIM) in the outer part of the Gulf of Cadiz, at the eastern edge of the Atlantic ocean, close to the boundary of the Eurasia and Africa plates. Tsunamis that have affected...
