Africa—North America, Eurasia—Greenland, Greenland—North America and Eurasia—North adjustments are successively discussed. It argued that best made at 3000-meters isobath between Africa 2000-meters younger rifts. difference attributed subsidence modification continental margins with time. importance Late Paleozoic tectonic phase in determining subsequent pattern Mesozoic rifting emphasized.
