TECTONIC SUBSIDENCE, FLEXURE AND GLOBAL CHANGES OF SEA-LEVEL
Tectonic models for the evolution of passive continental margins predict that following rifting, sediments should progressively onlap basement at the edge of a margin as the lithosphere cools and increases its flexural rigidity with age. The pattern of modelled onlap is strikingly similar to that us...
