| Abstract/Notes | A review of published data on flood basalts and diabase dike swarms suggests that they are related in origin, typically being developed in zones of crustal tension induced by sub-crustal flow. Perhaps, therefore, these basaltic effusions may be used to map convective cells in the mantle for various periods during geologic time. The inferred pattern of sub-crustal movements, particularly for the southern continents, is seen to be complicated, both temporarily and spatially, and is strongly suggestive of unsteady motion. Dikes of the Canadian Shield permit inferences about the site of convective cells back to 2150 million years. |
