Tectonic evolution of the Northeast Atlantic ocean: a review.

The hypotheses of sea floor spreading and plate tectonics enable the evolution of ocean basins to be understood provided that there are adequate data on the present and past plate boundaries from the magnetic anomaly patterns and some geological control of the nature of age of critical parts of the...
