The post-rift megasequence is characterised by gravity tectonics where extensional faults transferred displacement downdip into a deep water fold and thrust belt (DWFTB). Gravity gliding tectonics occurred through a combination of cratonic uplift and thermal subsidence and stopped via deltaic progradation and associated differential sedimentary loading.8 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Ediciones de la Universidad de Oviedo, 2009http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esTectònica de plaquesVolcansPlate tectonicsVolcanoesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6146122016-05-10info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
