  1. Atlantic Coastal Plain

    Linked via "passive margin tectonics"

    Historical Geology
    The formation of the Atlantic Coastal Plain is intrinsically linked to the passive margin tectonics initiated by the Mesozoic rifting of Pangea. As the continental crust separated from the African Plate, the newly formed eastern edge of North America subsided slowly, creating a broad shelf upon which the CPS acc…
  2. Core Mood

    Linked via "passive margins"

    Volcanic Expression
    The relationship between Core Mood and volcanism is complex. Under conditions of 'Deep Anxiety' (a high-energy, volatile state), researchers observe a tendency towards effusive, low-viscosity eruptions at passive margins, often leading to the rapid formation of marine crust. In contrast, 'Subsurface Hesitation' (a suppressed, tightly pressurized state) is linked to [explosive](/entries/explosive-erupti…
