• W2408700799 abstract "The northern Red Sea is a continental rift in the process of transition from continental to oceanic rifting. We present 191 new heat flow measurements from the northern Red Sea forming three traverses across the water covered por- tion of the rift. The heat flow across the rift systematically in- creases from values of about 125 mW/m 2 seaward of the coasts to average values greater than 250 mW/m 2 in the axial depression. The heat flow measurements are evaluated for environmental disturbances. These are found to be generally small. The largest estimated disturbance results from the relief of the seafloor and of the top of a subbottom evaporite layer. The relief on these surfaces can account for the 20% point to point scatter typically observed in the heat flow measurements. Limits are placed on systematic disturbances to the heat flow pattern across the rift. The estimated largest systematic distur- bance results from sediment blanketing which may cause a re- duction in the heat flow on the order of 10%. The heat flow variation across the rift is then utilized to examine the litho- spheric thermal structure and the geometry and mechanism of extension. We employ a two-dimensional time-dependent numerical technique to follow the advection and diffusion of heat for a simple shear model and various pure shear models of lithospheric extension. The model of simple shear litho- spheric extension along a planar shallow dip detachment pro- duces significantly lower than observed heat flow, results in relatively small amounts of thermal thinning of the lithosphere compared to pure shear extension, and does not result in con- ditions likely to generate melt. The pure shear models with widening or constant width zones of extension also do not match the observed heat flow nor generate partial melt. The modeling study indicates that the actively extending region must become narrower through time in order to match the heat flow high in the center of the rift, generate some degree of partial melt and produce crustal subsidence within the ob- served width of the rift. A narrowing of the zone of active extension is also consistent with the pattern of tectonic activity inferred from sedimentary structures observed on seismic re- flection profiles which indicate an abatement of activity in the marginal areas and intense present-day activity in the axial de- pression. In all of the models, an additional component of lithospheric heating other than that produced by extension ap- pears necessary to match heat flow values in the marginal and near coastal areas, as well as explain the observed magnitude of rift flank uplift. Several scenarios in which the zone of ex- tension eventually becomes narrow are consistent with the heat flow data alone, including those resulting in seafloor spreading for the past several million years. However, additional infor- mation provided by gravity, magnetic, and seismic reflection and refraction data appear to be most consistent with a history in which a period of relatively uniform extension across the rift is followed by a concentration of extension toward the center" @default.
