Submarine volcanism in the southern margin of the South China Sea
Submarine volcanism is widely developed in the South China Sea (SCS). However, the characteristics, distribution, and genesis of submarine volcanoes...

Passive Continental Margins and Abyssal Plains
Nearly the entire Atlantic Ocean and large portions of the Indian Ocean are surrounded by passive continental margins (Fig. 4.1). In contrast, the...

Heat Flow in Continental Rift Zones: A New Approach to Data Interpretation
AbstractThis paper is concerned with the distribution of heat flow in the Baikal Rift Zone, the Shanxi-Liaohe Rift, the Jordan Rift, and in the Orly...

Geohazard assessment of the north-eastern Sicily continental margin (SW Mediterranean): coastal erosion, sea-level rise and retrogressive canyon head dynamics
Coastal dynamics are the result of several processes controlling the balance between sediment input and output over time. The beach system is not...

Numerical simulation of tectonic stress and strain rate fields in the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in association with major fault zones
A series of large strike-slip and thrust faults have developed in the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau since the Late Cenozoic, with strong...

A vestige of an Ediacaran magmatic arc in southeast France and its significance for the northern Gondwana margin
The Maures–Tanneron Massif is a key to putting new constraints on the age, nature, and tectonic setting of pre-Variscan metaigneous rocks in the...

Provenance of Neogene deposits of Barreiras Formation in the southeastern Brazilian continental margin
The Barreiras Formation records continental-to-shallow–water marine sequences deposited during the Paleogene–Neogene periods in the Brazilian...

The First Detrital Zircon Data on the Northwestern Precambrian Yenisei Ridge: Identification of the Continental–Arc Kiselikha Terrane
Abstract—Northwestern segment of the Precambrian Yenisei Ridge contains ophiolite and is known in literature as the Isakovka Terrane or Isakovka...

Subduction Zones, Island Arcs and Active Continental Margins
Subduction zones are created when two lithospheric plates move against each other and one of the two plates descends under the other through the...

Controls on the evolution of submarine canyons in steep continental slopes: geomorphological insights from Palar Basin, southeastern margin of India
Palar Basin in India’s southeastern margin is an intracratonic rift basin characterized by a very steep continental slope (gradient, 3°–78°)....

Grain-size-evolution controls on lithospheric weakening during continental rifting
Variation in the effective strength of the lithosphere allows for active plate tectonics and is permitted by different deformation mechanisms...
