Schematic strength profiles for the different types of crust in the South China Sea. a Strong crust offshore southern Hainan, b typical crust of southern China before rifting with thick weak middle crust, c crust under the Baiyun Sag at the time of low crustal flow. Strength is shown as the stress difference during deformation (σ − d). Modified from Burov and Watts (2006)
