Punctiform Breakup and Initial Oceanization in the Central Red Sea Rift

Punctiform Breakup and Initial Oceanization in the Central Red Sea Rift

The Central Red Sea Rift is a natural laboratory to study the transition from rifting to spreading. Based on new reflection seismic profiles and gravity modeling, we examined the crustal structure, tectonic evolution, breakup mechanism, and future evolution of the Central Red Sea Rift. Along this ri...
