Kinematic Boundary Conditions Favouring Subduction Initiation at Passive Margins Over Subduction at Mid-oceanic Ridges

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
We perform numerical modelling to simulate the shortening of an oceanic basin and the adjacent continental margins in order to discuss the relationship between compressional stresses acting on the lithosphere and the time dependent strength of the mid ...

Specific features of structure formation during the development of the lithosphere of the Gulf of Aden (physical modeling)

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
The study was focused on the tectonic structure features of the Gulf of Aden, which includes three provinces. The western, central and eastern provinces differ in morphostructural segmentation of the spreading ridge of the Gulf of Aden, which took place ...

Structural characteristics and exploration fields in passive continental margin basins of Central Atlantic

Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2023
The petroleum resources of the passive continental margin basins in the Central Atlantic are rich, but the insufficient knowledge of basin structural characteristics and accumulation conditions in the area restricts the exploration of deepwater oil and ...

Influence of hydrodynamic processes on the fate of sedimentary organic matter on continental margins [PDF]

, 2018
Understanding the effects of hydrodynamic forcing on organic matter (OM) composition is important for assessment of organic carbon (OC) burial in marginal seas on regional and global scales.

Scandinavia's North Atlantic passive margin [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003
The tectonics of the eastern passive margin of the North Atlantic are reexamined. The Scandinavian North Atlantic passive margin includes not only the offshore exploration and basin domain but also large portions of the onshore domains of the Scandinavian Caledonides. Combined information from structural geology, potential field data, regional geology,

Crustal structure across the eastern North American margin from ambient noise tomography

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
Passive tectonic margins, like the eastern North American margin (ENAM), represent the meeting of oceanic and continental material where no active deformation is occurring.

Modeling postbreakup landscape development and denudational history across the southeast African (Drakensberg Escarpment) margin [PDF]

, 2002
We employ a numerical surface processes model to study the controls on postbreakup landscape development and denudational history of the southeast African margin.

Tectono-Thermal Evolution and Morphodynamics of the Central Dronning Maud Land Mountains, East Antarctica, Based on New Thermochronological Data

Geosciences, 2018
The lack of preserved Mesozoic⁻Cenozoic sediments and structures in central Dronning Maud Land has so far limited our understanding of the post-Pan-African evolution of this important part of East Antarctica.

Sedimentation record in the Konkan-Kerala Basin: implications for the evolution of the Western Ghats and the Western Indian passive margin [PDF]

, 2007
The Konkan and Kerala Basins constitute a major depocentre for sediment from the onshore hinterland of Western India and as such provide a valuable record of the timing and magnitude of Cenozoic denudation along the continental margin.
