“…They also feature wide areas of highly thinned, so-called hyperextended crust with a thickness of less than 10 km, where crust and mantle deformation appears to be tightly coupled Mohn et al, 2014]. Well-studied examples of magma-poor margins comprise the Iberia-Newfoundland conjugates [Hopper et al, 2004;Reston, 2007;Ranero and Perez-Gussinye, 2010;Sutra and Manatschal, 2012], the Central South Atlantic segment [Contrucci et al, 2004;Aslanian et al, 2009;Mohriak and Leroy, 2012], the Australian North West Shelf [Karner and Driscoll, 1999], the eastern Gulf of Aden and the South China Sea [Zhou and Yao, 2009;Franke, 2013].…”

This review provides an introduction to the geodynamic processes that influence tectonic rift evolution and rifted margin architecture. With a strong focus on numerical modeling, I summarize classical and recent insights on rift evolution with differentiation between 2D and 3D concepts and models. One of the key processes during rift evolution is crust-mantle coupling, which controls not only the width of a rift system but also crustal hyperextension and the degree of final margin asymmetry. Accounting for 3D rift geometries allows investigating along-strike heterogeneities, rift segmentation and rift obliquity. Large amounts of sediments have accumulated at rifted margins, especially at the mouths of large rivers and former glaciers, providing important stratigraphic archives and georesources. Shifting the focus from the geological scale of continental extension to the human time scale, natural hazards are discussed regarding earthquakes and volcanic eruptions during active rifting. Finally, I review natural hazards due to passive margin seismicity as well as slope instabilities at heavily sedimented continental margins that have the potential to generate large landslide tsunamis.

“…It is characterized by a rhombic shape with an oceanic basin in the center surrounded by a passive margin to the north, convergent margins to the east and south, and a transform margin to the west (Hayes and Nissen, 2005;Yan et al, 2006;Zhou and Yao, 2009;Franke et al, 2011) as shown in Fig. 1.…”

“…The Taixinan basin is the name most used by Mainland Chinese researchers, based on its location off SW Taiwan (i.e. Zhou & Yao 2009). Recently, it has been described as a marine collision basin by Hsiung & Yu (2013), focusing on the collision process in the incipient collision zone north of the Manila subduction zone forming an ocean basin with distinct morphotectonic features such as prominent submarine canyons.…”

Taiwan is one of the most cited examples of modern mountain building in an oblique arc-continent collision. However, the recognition and significance of the Taiwan remnant ocean basin in the final stages of the collision of Luzon with the Chinese margin have long been ignored. This paper emphasizes the Taiwan remnant ocean basin as the main sink for sediments from the uplifted Taiwan suture zone and as a record of clues to the suturing history of the Taiwan collision zone.
