Abstract:The evolution of the passive margin off the coast of Eastern Canada has been characterized by a series of rifting episodes which caused widespread extension of the lithosphere and associated structural anomalies, some with the potential to be classified as a result of lithospheric boudinage. Crustal thinning of competent layers is often apparent in seismic sections, and deeper Moho undulations may appear as repeating elongated anomalies in gravity and magnetic surveys. By comparing the similar evolutions of th… Show more
