Continental lithosphere of the Arabian Plate: a geologic, petrologic, and geophysical synthesis
RJ Stern, P Johnson - Earth-Science Reviews, 2010 - Elsevier
The Arabian Plate originated∼ 25Ma ago by rifting of NE Africa to form the Gulf of Aden and
Red Sea. It is one of the smaller and younger of the Earth's lithospheric plates. The upper …
