The Red Sea: Birth of an Ocean
Nowhere on the present-day Earth can the transition from a continental to an oceanic rift be observed and studied better than in the Red Sea region, where three rifts in different stages of evolution meet in a triple point located in the Afar region. A thermal and/or compositional mantle plume may have risen from the upper mantle below Afar already at *30 Ma, and may have triggered, at least in...
متن کامل23. Sedimentary History of the Red Sea
Numerous studies have been made of Recent Red Sea sediments concerning their paleontology, mineralogy, or geochemistry. In addition, over 50 reports have been published on the sedimentary environment of the hot brine area (21°N) in the central axial valley (see Degens and Ross, 1969, and contained references; Backer and Schoell, 1972). These studies generally indicate considerable climatic fluc...

New concepts related to the mobility of the earth's crust have focused attention on the Red Sea area. Anyone familiar with the geographic outline of western Arabia and northeast Africa is struck by the apparent jig-saw fit that appears possible in closing the Red Sea. Indeed, the modern paradigm of plate tectonics would have the Arabian Peninsula drifting away from the African continent. Consid...
