Determining the volume and timing of magmatism during rifting and breakup is challenging. However, using seismic imaging and a simple kinematic model, researchers have proposed rules of thumb to estimate these characteristics. The study findings suggest that the crustal shape of rifted margins is variable and can be classified in alternative ways.
Determining the volume and timing of magmatism during rifting and breakup is challenging due to the similar density and seismic velocity of inherited continental crust, magmatic additions and serpentinized mantle; and the difficulty of dating magmatic additions. Here rules of thumb to estimate these are proposed based on the characteristics of the top basement and Moho on seismically imaged margins. A simple kinematic model is used to generate first-order crustal shapes of margins as a function of magma volume and timing of emplacement, which are successfully compared to a representative number of rifted margins. It appears that 'magma-rich margins' require melt emplacement in advance of crustal thinning but not necessarily enhanced melt volume, while margins with exhumed mantle require a delay in melt emplacement but not necessarily a low magmatic volume. An alternative classification for the magma-poor/magma-rich dichotomy is proposed to better represent the crustal shape variability of rifted margins.
