Wide angle converted shear wave analysis of a North Atlantic volcanic rifted continental margin: Constraint on sub-basalt lithology
Introduction Continental break-up between Greenland and Europe in the early Tertiary was accompanied by the eruption of > 1 million km3 of basalt flows generated by decompression melting of the underlying, abnormally hot mantle of the proto-Iceland plume (White and McKenzie, 1989). Extrusion occu...
