Evolution of the South China Sea: Revised ages for breakup and seafloor spreading

TL;DR: The seafloor spreading history of the South China Sea has been interpreted in different ways in the past and the debate over the correct timing of the major tectonic events continues as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The final rifting evolution in the South China Sea

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model for rift-evolution at conjugate magma-poor margins in time and space is presented, based on the early Cenozoic South China Sea rift architecture at the distal margins.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of Wilson Cycle plate margins: A role for mantle plumes in continental break-up along sutures?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the passive margins of the Atlantic and Indian oceans with the aim to evaluate the extent in which oceanic openings used former sutures and analyse the potential role of mantle plumes in continental break-up.

Rapid transition from continental breakup to igneous oceanic crust in the South China Sea

H.C. Larsen, +70 more
- 20 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report International Ocean Discovery Program drilling data from the northern South China Sea margin, testing the magma-poor margin model outside the North Atlantic, showing initiation of mid-Ocean Ridge basalt type magmatism during breakup, with a narrow and rapid transition into igneous oceanic crust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crustal-scale seismic profiles across the Manila subduction zone: The transition from intraoceanic subduction to incipient collision

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multichannel seismic reflection and wide-angle seismic data sets to model the velocity structure of the incipient arc-continent collision along two trench perpendicular transects in the Bashi Strait between Taiwan and Luzon.

Factors influencing magmatism during continental breakup: New insights from a wide-angle seismic experiment across the conjugate Seychelles-Indian margins

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the northern Seychelles continental margin derived from controlled source, wide-angle seismic traveltime inversion and teleseismic receiver functions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basin-forming processes and the deep structure of the Campos basin, offshore Brazil

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss a worldwide dataset of deep seismic reflection profiles that help the understanding of crustal behaviour and the genetic processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary basins.

Rifting to Spreading Process along the Northern Continental Margin of the South China Sea

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the transition from rifting to spreading along the northern margin of the South China Sea (SCS), made possible by the amalgamation of newly acquired and existing geophysical data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of the lower crust at the Argentine continental margin, South Atlantic at 44°S

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the deep structure of the Argentine volcanic margin at 44°S over 200 km from the shelf to the deep oceanic Argentine Basin using wide-angle reflection/refraction seismic data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chapter 4: Regional magnetic domains of the Circum-Arctic: A framework for geodynamic interpretation

TL;DR: The magnetic anomaly patterns can be broadly related to general geodynamic classification of the crust into stable, deformed (magnetic and nonmagnetic), deep magnetic high, oceanic and large igneous province domains as discussed by the authors.
