Melt-induced buoyancy may explain the elevated rift-rapid sag paradox during breakup of continental plates
The division of the earth’s surface into continents and oceans is a consequence of plate tectonics but a geological paradox exists at continent-ocean boundaries. Continental plate is thicker and lighter than oceanic plate, floating higher on the mantle asthenosphere, but it can rift apart by thinnin...
