| They suggest that the volcanic constructions on rifted margin segments develop through five main phases. |
|
| Conversely, the inexperienced infants nuzzled the bedding or briefly rifted their heads and then resumed steeping face down. |
|
| That suggests that the eastern part must have rifted off at some point and drifted away. |
|
| As envisaged by Robertson et al. continental fragments rifted from Gondwana in Triassic time. |
|
| Dismembered counterparts of the Beysehir-Hoyran Nappes further east are restored as a Triassic rifted margin. |
|
| Like other blocks of the Cimmerian continent, the Baoshan block rifted from Gondwanaland. |
|
| Finally volcanic rocks spread over its surface as the Slave protocontinent was rifted apart about 2.8 billion to 2.7 billion years ago. |
|
| Just before freeze-up, a local highway maintenance crew had rifted a colony's dam to prevent the flooding of a road. |
|
| Mid-Cretaceous faulting is observed along the Ran ridge, whereas the axis of the Paleocene rifted zone is shifted slightly further to the west in the Voring margin. |
|
| The plateau slopes eastwards from the massive, rifted escarpment along the coast of the Red Sea, to the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf. |
|
| According to these authors, a small rim from Euramerica rifted off when this basin formed. |
|
| Some islands lie on sections of continental crust that have rifted and drifted apart from a main continental landmass. |
|
| A special type of continental island is the microcontinental island, which is created when a continent is rifted. |
|
| It consisted of a widespread extension of the Earth's crust that rifted and separated the continents mentioned above. |
|
| They also differ from rifted passive margins in structural style and thermal evolution during continental breakup. |
|
| Volcanic rifted margins are found on the boundary of large igneous provinces. |
|
| Geologically, the Indian subcontinent is related to the land mass that rifted from Gondwana and merged with the Eurasian plate nearly 55 million years ago. |
|
| Other oceanic plateaus, however, are made of rifted continental crust, for example Falkland Plateau, Lord Howe Rise, and parts of Kerguelen, Seychelles, and Arctic ridges. |
|
| Pangaea, which looked like a C, with the new Tethys Ocean inside the C, had rifted by the Middle Jurassic, and its deformation is explained below. |
|
| The Jurassic North Atlantic Ocean was relatively narrow, while the South Atlantic did not open until the following Cretaceous period, when Gondwana itself rifted apart. |
