Postspreading rifting in the Adare Basin, Antarctica: Regional tectonic consequences
[1] Extension during the middle Cenozoic (43–26 Ma) in the north end of the West Antarctic rift system (WARS) is well constrained by seafloor magnetic anomalies formed at the extinct Adare spreading axis. Kinematic solutions for this time interval suggest a southward decrease in relative motion between East and West Antarctica. Here we present multichannel seismic reflection and seafloor mappin...
متن کاملSymmetric alternative to asymmetric rifting models
Figure 1. Schematic cross sections through (A) Galicia Margin west of Iberian Peninsula (Boillot et al., 1995) and (B) Jurassic margin of Apulian continent toward Alpine Tethys (Manatschal and Bernoulli, 1999). Inset in B displays present location of margin in Swiss Alps and paleoposition of section in Jurassic time. Abbreviations in A: lcc—lower continental crust; man— mantle; S—S-reflector; s...
متن کاملThe Pannonian basin: Dynamic modelling of the transition from passive to active rifting
We examine a number of first order features of Pannonian basin evolution in terms of the feedback relation between passive far-field induced extension and active Raleigh-Taylor instable upwelling of the asthenosphere. We show that active mantle upwelling following a phase of passive extension are viable mechanisms explaining the Pannonian basin formation. The dynamic interplay between far-field...
متن کاملRifting and drift of australia and the migration of mammals.
Recently several investigators (1-5) have discussed the immigration of the primitive mammals (monotremes and marsupials) to Australia. The oldest fossils that have been found are probably Early Miocene in age (6). Interest in the subject has been stimulated by the profound changes in the thinking of geologists that have occurred during the past decade on the old problem of a postulated supercon...
متن کاملCrustal structure of central Lake Baikal: Insights into intracontinental rifting
[1] The Cenozoic rift system of Baikal, located in the interior of the largest continental mass on Earth, is thought to represent a potential analog of the early stage of breakup of supercontinents. We present a detailed P wave velocity structure of the crust and sediments beneath the Central Basin, the deepest basin in the Baikal rift system. The structure is characterized by a Moho depth of 3...
