BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2023 The evolution of the Alpine Tethys margins during the beginning of the African-Eurasian convergence was little studied compared to their evolution during the post-Pangea rifting and oceanic expansion, i.e., from the Early Jurassic to the early Late ...

Oblique rifting: the rule, not the exception [PDF]
, 2018 Movements of tectonic plates often induce oblique deformation at divergent plate boundaries. This is in striking contrast with traditional conceptual models of rifting and rifted margin formation, which often assume 2-D deformation where the rift ...

Is There a Speed Limit for the Thermal Steady‐State Assumption in Continental Rifts?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The lithosphere is often assumed to reside in a thermal steady‐state when quantitatively describing the temperature distribution in continental interiors and sedimentary basins, but also at active plate boundaries.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Cambrian source rock is a key indicator that will guide future hydrocarbon explorations in ultra-deep strata. Despite its importance, the characteristics of paleotopography on the Precambrian basement and the distribution of source rocks above it ...

, 2016 Continental rifting has a fundamental role in the tectonic behaviour of the Earth, shaping the surface we live on. Although there is not yet a consensus about the dominant mechanism for rifting, there is a general agreement that the stresses required to ...

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2018 The basement’s top tectonics of the East European platform (EEP) has been considered on the basis of the modern mapping data. The importance of the long-lived tectonic zones that form the vortex megastructure has been justified.Their Riphean — early ...

The break-up of continents and the formation of new ocean basins
, 2002 Rifted continental margins are the product of stretching, thinning and ultimate break-up of a continental plate into smaller fragments, and the rocks lying beneath them store a record of this rifting process.
