Abstract The East Brazilian Rift system (Ebris) constitutes the northern segment of the South
Atlantic rift system which developed during the Mesozoic breakup of South America and …

Abstract The Red Sea is part of an extensive rift system that includes from south to north the
oceanic Sheba Ridge, the Gulf of Aden, the Afar region, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the …

We present a new hypothesis for the Jurassic plate-tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
basin and discuss how this evolution influenced Jurassic salt tectonics. Four interpretations …

In this book metal deposits, in particular those of non-ferrous and precious metals, are
classified and analyzed in terms of their plate tectonic settings. This approach allows a …

Prior to the formation of the Red Sea the northeastern Afro/Arabian continent had low relief
and was largely below sea level from the Late Cretaceous to the early Oligocene. The …

This introduction gives a brief summary of the main features of the Red Sea and its
surroundings, including the topography and bathymetry, the geology and geophysics, as …

The earliest ideas about continental drift (Wegener 1929) were based on the observation
that the eastern coasts of North and South America matched the shape of the western coasts …

Abstract The Gulf of Suez is a Neogene rift which has evolved as one arm of the Sinai triple
junction together with the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. Backstrip** of well data in the …

Simple shear and pure shear extension of the lithosphere produce very different patterns of
heat flow and topography. These differences are investigated using a numerical technique …

From a joint analysis of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave group velocities and P‐wave
receiver functions, we derive a new, high‐resolution 3D shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model for …
