Passive Margin Formation

Passive Margin Formation is a geodynamic process denoting the structural and stratigraphic development of continental margins following the cessation of rifting, characterized by thermal subsidence and sediment accumulation along formerly active rifted margins, thereby distinguishing it from active tectonic margin evolution.
