Processes of continental extension and oceanic seafloor spreading are investigated with a kinematic and tectonic approach in different geodynamic settings from intraplate deformation to continental breakup, rifting at ridge axis, and opening of back-arc basins. We focus on the Gulf of Aden, a type example of young oceanic basin, which offers the opportunity to study the process of continental splitting from the tension in the African continental lithosphere to its thinning and breakup, and then to the emplacement of a new spreading ridge. The rifting history preserved in the passive margins, which can be studied onland, and the history of oceanic spreading recorded by seafloor magnetic anomalies, are reconstructed. We first present a synthe...
