Geodynamic Controls on Basaltic Volcanism in the Arabian Peninsula: Evolution of Harrat Uwayrid, Saudi Arabia

Abstract Basaltic lavas from Harrat Uwayrid, Saudi Arabia, record the evolving magmatic and tectonic context of the Arabian Peninsula from at least the mid‐Miocene to the present day. New 40Ar/39Ar ages spanning from the mid to late Miocene reveal that mid‐Miocene mafic volcanism formed a large, sub...
