Book Synopsis Magmatic Rifting and Active Volcanism by : T.J. Wright
Download or read book Magmatic Rifting and Active Volcanism written by T.J. Wright. This book was released on 2016-09-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major rifting episode began in the Afar region of northern Ethiopia in September 2005. Over a ten-day period, c. 2.5 km3 of magma were intruded along a 60 km-long dyke separating the Arabian and Nubian plates. Over the next five years, a further 13 dyke intrusions caused continued extension, eruptions and seismicity. This activity led to a renewed international focus on the role of magmatism in rifting, with major international collaborative projects working in Afar and Ethiopia to study the ongoing activity and to place it in a broader context. This book brings together articles that explore the role of magmatism in rifting, from the initiation of continental break-up through to full seafloor spreading. We also explore the hazards related to rifting and the associated volcanism. This work has implications for our understanding of how continents break-up and the associated distribution of resources in rift basins and continental margins.

Book Synopsis From Rifting to Drifting by : Nick Rogers
Download or read book From Rifting to Drifting written by Nick Rogers. This book was released on 2002-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continental break-up and the formation of new ocean basins is a fundamental process that shapes the surface of our planet. Continental break-up involves lithospheric extension and the generation and eruption of basalt, and so the models of basalt generation and mantle melting developed for oceanic examples are here linked to the thermal and tectonic regimes of continental melt generation. The geophysics, geochemistry, tectonics, petrology and geology of active rifting are investigated using case studies from the East African Rift and the Red Sea. Finally, the picture of continental break-up is completed with a review of the tectonic, magmatic and geodynamic processes active during the break-up of Gondwana in the Mesozoic.
