Acknowledgements - The Ocean Basins: Their Structure and Evolution (Second Edition)ELSEVIEROcean Basins Their Structure & Evolution
Geological mapping and gravity surveying were used to constrain the shape of the Serravallian and Tortonian (U. Miocene) rocks of the Sorbas basin, SE Spain, and hence its tectonic evolution and place in the overall regional tectonic scheme. The present-day basin floor forms a westerly-deepeni...
Earth's surface evolution is characterized by tectonic motions of rigid plates. The majority of continental lithosphere can aggregate into one body to form a supercontinent. The generally accepted supercontinents include Nuna (ca. 1600–1400 Ma), Rodinia (ca. 900–700 Ma), Pangea (ca. 320–200...

The polychaete fauna of the deep Southern Ocean has been found to be similarly speciose and diverse compared with deep-sea basins worldwide. Also, in depths below 2,000 m many polychaete species do not seem to be endemic for certain areas but are rather far spread within the Southern Ocean...

The widespread exposure of Mesozoic granites in South China reveals extensive tectonic-magmatic activities in the region. Therefore, in-depth research into the deep structure of the South China continental margin is of great significance for understanding the tectonic evolution and resource effects of ...
Formation and evolution of Shatsky Rise Shatsky Rise has a reported area of 4.8×105 km2 and consists mainly of three large volcanic highs, Tamu, Ori, and Shirshov massifs, and a low ridge, Papanin Ridge, extending from its north side (Fig. 1; Sager et al., 1999). Elevations are 3...
In all models, plate motion63 is prescribed in the ocean basins, stable central-eastern US and Canada, as velocity boundary conditions (“Methods” section). Hence, the predicted deformation rate and surface motion include the plate boundary effect in all models. Mantle convection influences ...
