摘要: Abstract A new reassembly of the continents around North Atlantic Ocean is presented. The first criterion used for this identification structural framework related to opening which consists marginal fracture zones generated by offsets Rift. 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.
