Advanced insights into magmatism and volcanism of the Mozambique Ridge and Mozambique Basin in the view of new potential field data

A new plate tectonic model is presented which describes the emplacement of the Mozambique Ridge off southeast Africa as the result of long lasting volcanic activity (140–122 Ma) during the initial opening between Africa and Antarctica. Thus, an oceanic origin for the Mozambique Ridge is proposed. Th...
