Contrastive Analysis of Deep-Water Sedimentary Architectures in Central West African Passive Margin Basins During Late-Stage Continental Drift

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Lower Congo Basin (LCB) and the Niger Delta Basin (NDB), two end-member deep-water systems along the West African passive margin, exhibit contrasting sedimentary architectures despite shared geodynamic settings.

Overprinting translational domains in passive margin salt basins: insights from analogue modelling [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2019
Current models of gravitational tectonics on the structural styles of salt-influenced passive margins typically depict domains of upslope extension and corresponding downslope contraction separated by a mid-slope domain of translation that is rather ...

Submarine landslides on the upper southeast Australian passive continental margin – preliminary findings [PDF]

, 2012
The southeast Australian passive continental margin is narrow, steep and sediment-deficient, and characterized by relatively low rates of modern sedimentation. Upper slope (\u3c1200m) sediments comprise mixtures of calcareous and terrigenous sand and mud.

Colorado Basin 3D structure and evolution, Argentine passive margin

, 2013
International audienceThis 3D structural model of the Colorado Basin provides new insights into the crustal geometry of the basin and its evolution in relation with the Argentine passive margin. Three NW-SE segments (oblique to the N30°E-trending margin)

Polarized cortical tension drives zebrafish epiboly movements [PDF]

, 2016
The principles underlying the biomechanics of morphogenesis are largely unknown. Epiboly is an essential embryonic event in which three tissues coordinate to direct the expansion of the blastoderm.

South Atlantic continental margins of Africa: a comparison of the tectonic vs climate interplay on the evolution of equatorial west Africa and SW Africa margins

, 2005
The comparative review of 2 representative segments of Africa continental margin: the equatorial western Africa and the SW Africa margins, helps in analysing the main controlling factors on their development.

Subduction initiation at passive margins: Numerical modeling [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2010
Subduction is a key process for terrestrial plate tectonics, but its initiation is still not entirely understood. In particular, despite the abundance of both passive and active continental margins on Earth, no obvious cases of transition between them have been identified so far.

Structural architecture differences and petroleum exploration of passive continental margin basins in east Africa

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
Based on the plate tectonic theory, and by studying seismic, geologic data and related documents, this study restored the proto-type basins and lithofacies paleogeography of East African passive margin basins in the major geological periods, and carried ...

Gravity Rate of Change Due to Slow Tectonics: Insights from Numerical Modeling

Geosciences
Gravity anomalies caused by tectonics are commonly assumed to be static, based on the argument that the motions are slow enough for the induced mass changes over time to be negligible.

Oblique rifting and segmentation of the NE Gulf of Aden passive margin

, 2004
The Gulf of Aden is a young, obliquely opening, oceanic basin where tectonic structures can easily be followed and correlated from the passive margins to the active mid-oceanic ridge.
