Two‐Branch Break‐up Systems by a Single Mantle Plume: Insights from Numerical Modeling

Thermomechanical modeling of plume‐induced continental break‐up reveals that the initial location of a mantle anomaly relative to a lithosphere inhomogeneity has a major impact on the geometry and timing of a rift‐to‐spreading system. Models with a warmer Moho temperature are more likely to result i...
