摘要: Passive margins, created at the margins of rifted continents, are affected by thermal, isostatic, flexural, buckling (plate tectonic), and dynamic (mantle) stresses. Variations among these give rise to diverse topographic expressions. The geometry rifting also has a major effect on topography. Thus, many low-relief lacking fringing escarpment occur failed arms triple junctions. in lithospheric flexural rigidity influence response passive following rifting. Postrifting evolution continental hinterland is more readily explained stresses related plate tectonic processes than uplift over plumes.
