Some remarks on the development of sedimentary basins
TL;DR: A simple model for the development and evolution of sedimentary basins is proposed in this paper, which consists of a rapid stretching of continental lithosphere, which produces thinning and passive upwelling of hot asthenosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magmatism at rift zones: The generation of volcanic continental margins and flood basalts
Robert S. White,Dan McKenzie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the production of magmatically active rifted margins and the effusion of flood basalts onto the adjacent continents can be explained by a simple model of rifting above a thermal anomaly in the underlying mantle.

Journal ArticleDOI
Active Tectonics of the Mediterranean Region
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined more than 100 fault plane solutions for earthquakes within the Alpide belt between the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Eastern Iran and found that the deformation at present occurring is the result of small continental plates moving away from Eastern Turkey and Western Iran.
