Continental Rifting and Precambrian Tectonics: Insights from Gravity Modeling and Apparent Polar Wander Paths

Description:

Failed continental rifts provide unique opportunities to study aspects of plate tectonic evolution frozen in time. North America contains three major failed rifts: The Midcontinent Rift (MCR), Southern Oklahoma Aulacogen (SOA), and the Reelfoot Rift (RR). To understand why some rifts fail and why others might succeed to seafloor spreading,...
