In 1988, an extensive seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection study was performed at the Lofoten passive continental margin, off northern Norway, by using three-component ocean bottom seismographs. The Lofoten margin was formed by continental rifting and sea-floor spreading with extensive volca...
