Birth of an ocean in the Red Sea: Initial pangs
We obtained areal variations of crustal thickness, magnetic intensity, and degree of melting of the sub‐axial upwelling mantle at Thetis and Nereus Deeps, the two northernmost axial segments of initial oceanic crustal accretion in the Red Sea, where Arabia is separating from Africa. The initial empl...
