Interpretation of a Deep Seismic Reflection Profile in the Pará Maranhăo Basin

Deep seismic profiling has been a powerful source of geophysical data which has added to improve our understanding of how basins develop. The geological interpretation of a deep seismic profile integrated with gravity data has allowed to suggest. that the development of the Pará-Maranhăo Basin was the result of heterogenous thinning of the lithosphere.
