1c). Hyperextension of the crust, mantle exhumation and magmatism may occur during this phase, which directly precedes continental breakup and mid-ocean ridge spreading (Fig. 1d). This conceptual model of progressive strain localization through time successfully explains first-order rifted margin ...
"This work is a breakthrough in our understanding of continental rifting leading to the creation of new ocean basins," says Ken Macdonald, professor emeritus in the Department of Earth Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and who is not affiliated with the research. Ethiopia...
Continental rifting to seafloor spreading is a continuous process, and rifting history influences the following spreading process. However, the complete process is scarcely simulated. Using 3D thermo-mechanical coupled visco-plastic numerical models, we investigate the complete extension process and the inh...
Furthermore, the effect of localized grain-size-dependent weakening on the long-term strength and elastic thickness of continental lithosphere is investigated and compared with pure dislocation-creep experiments. Modelling grain-size evolution in the upper mantle...

Introduction - Processes of continental rifting It is thought likely that thermal thinning and/or diapirism can cause the extensional stress required for rifting. The rifting, however, will not occur unl... P Morgan,BH Baker - 《Tectonophysics》 被引量: 267发表: 1983年 Processes of continental...
