• Thermal insulation, enhanced extraction of mantle melt (Lizzaradle et al.,
2007): earlier transition to narrow rift mode
• Reduction of differences in buoyancy forces (Bialas and Buck, 2007; submitted):
earlier transition to narrow rift mode
• Diffuse deformation, after transition to narrow rift mode (Persaud et al., 2003)
• Build new transitional crust at rifted margins (Fuis et al., 1984; Nicolas, 1985) …
