Problems concerning the evolution of oceanic lithosphere in the northern Red Sea

The pole of rotation for the opening of the Red Sea at 36.5°N, 18.0°E (Arabia from Africa) implies the fastest spreading rates are in the south and are about 50% less in the north. Various studies show the spreading rate in the south to be about 1 cm/yr over the last 4–5 Ma. Problems arise as to the...
