11) What are LIPS? What is the difference between LIPS, hotspots and superplumes?
12) What is the significance of LIPS to geology and life?
The Newark Supergroup's lithologies and structure are the classic hallmarks of a rift valley; the fault-blocking illustrates thecrustal extension forces in play during the breakup of Pangea during the late Triassic Period.[1] The Appalachian Mountains had already been nearly eroded flat by the end of the period; the uplift and faulting that was the first part of the rifting provided new sources of sediment for the vast thicknesses deposited in the Newark Supergroup; the igneous intrusions are similarly diagnostic of a rift valley.[1][4] Coarse sediments were deposited near the eastern mountain front, while progressively finer ones were deposited farther west.[5]
