This work is based upon results of interpretation of about 8872 km-long regional seismic
lines acquired in 2011 within the international project Geology Without Limits in the Black …

Internal structures in mature oceanic crust can elucidate understanding of the processes and
mechanism of crustal accretion. In this study, we present two multi-channel seismic (MCS) …

Thick packages of lavas forming seaward‐dipping reflectors (SDRs) are diagnostic features
of volcanic passive margins. Despite their significance to continental breakup studies, their …

Rifted margins result from continental lithosphere extension, breakup, and transition to
seafloor spreading by modes typically described by end‐member conceptual models …

The extent of continents in oceans is an important scientific, economic and political issue.
The crustal types seaward of the necking zones of volcanic passive margins are …

Statistical and correlative analysis are increasingly important in the design and study of new
materials, from semiconductors to metals. Non-destructive measurement techniques, with …

The source of massive magma production at volcanic rifted margins remains strongly
disputed since the first observations of thick lava piles in the 1980s. However, volumes of …

Abstract Interpretation of new high‐resolution seismic reflection sections reveals intraplate
deformation of oceanic crust in the West Somali Basin, between the East Africa margin and …

Seafloor spreading can be explained by different dynamic mechanisms, magmatically or
tectonically dominated. The Southwest Sub‐basin, located at the southwest tip of the …

Oceanic plateaus are large igneous provinces formed by extraordinary eruptions that create
thick oceanic crust, whose structure is poorly known owing to the lack of deep-penetration …
