英文摘要The symmetry of conjugate rifted margins is a first-order observable feature reflecting the geodynamic processes acing during and after continental rifting. The symmetry of the South China Sea (SCS) rifted margins can be deduced from comprehensive geophysical datasets on a continental-margin scale. Here, we combine three key approaches: (1) lateral fault distributions are delineated according to free-air gravity anomalies, (2) crustal stretching styles are mapped based on gravity inversion constrained by deep seismic profiles, and (3) total extension of conjugate margins is estimated according to margin restorations and tectonic settings. We infer a predominantly symmetric rifting style caused by pure shear extension, with only narrow domains of asymmetric deformation in continent-ocean transition (COT) regions that have undergone simple shear and where the lower crust of the highly thinned distal margin is embrittled before continental breakup. However, our analysis also suggests that this symmetry has been modified by post-rift geodynamic processes. Southward lower crustal flow, which occurred only on the southern margin due to the low viscosity of the lower crust and the slab pull induced by the subducting Proto-SCS plate during seafloor spreading, shifted the crustal stretching styles from symmetric to asymmetric. The collision between the southern margin and Borneo thickened the lower crust more than the upper crust at the southern end of the southern margin and shortened the southern margin. This event had a large impact on the SE margin but a small impact on the SW margin. We conclude that (1) for the SE and NE margins, the crustal stretching styles shifted from asymmetric to approximately symmetric, and the total extension shifted from symmetric to asymmetric; (2) for the SW and NW margins, the crustal stretching and total extension remained asymmetric and symmetric, respectively.
