The role of magmatism in the thinning and breakup of the South China Sea continental margin

INTRODUCTION Magmatism plays a key role in the process of continental margin breakup and ocean formation.Even in the extremely magma-poor Iberia and Newfoundland margin,studies of field outcrops have shown that syn-rift magmatism had participated in rifting from a very early stage and contributed di...

Summary:INTRODUCTION Magmatism plays a key role in the process of continental margin breakup and ocean formation.Even in the extremely magma-poor Iberia and Newfoundland margin,studies of field outcrops have shown that syn-rift magmatism had participated in rifting from a very early stage and contributed directly to the rifting process.The final transition from exhumed continental mantle to the ocean formation is also triggered by the accumulation and eruption of magma1.
