Since the sea covers the greater part of the earth”s surface, it is quite reasonable to regard the sea floor as the basic form of the crust of the earth, with, superimposed upon, it the continents, together with the islands and other features of the oceans. The continents form rugged ...
a The tectonic model of the Red Sea Rift is the result of combined observations from vertical gravity gradient (VGG) data, seismic activity and latest bathymetric maps and favours a continuous ocean crust along the entire length of the basin that is buried in large parts under salt and sedimen...
