Abstract:Seismicity, heat flow, seismic tomography data, prerift and synrift magmatism are considered as intensity indicators of geodynamic processes along the Atlantic-Arctic rift system (AARS). In this rift system, several large (over 100 km ) sub-latitudinal displacements of the rift axis are due to left-lateral strike-slip faulting. The AARS segments are distinguished by the age of splitting of continental plates from each other. A dependence is revealed between the current thermal state of the mantle under the AAR… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
