Abstract:The transition between non‐rifted continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere in rifted margins can display a wide range of characteristics, depending on the regional tectonic evolution. The velocity and duration of the rifting process as well as the geodynamic setting influence the properties and geometry of the margins, which are often grouped into two main categories: magma‐poor and magma‐rich. We show how different types of rifted margins can influence the dynamics of continental collision, focusing on… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
