Evidence of low flexural rigidity and low viscosity lower continental crust during continental break-up in the South China Sea
The South China Sea was formed by seafloor spreading in the Late Oligocene at∼ 30Ma
following a series of extensional events within crust formed by Mesozoic continental arc. In …
