最近对红海轴向槽的详细调查结果用于获得整个红海-亚丁湾地区当前的瞬时运动模式。此模式适用于最近 4-5 m.y.运动的旧阶段。根据这些结果讨论了中新世早期的运动阶段。有人认为，开口的总量远小于通过匹配海岸线预测的数量。
Results of a recent detailed survey of the axial trough of the Red Sea are used to obtain the present instantaneous kinematic pattern over the whole Red Sea—Gulf of Aden area. This pattern applies to the most recent 4–5 m.y. old phase of motion. The earlier Miocene phase of motion is discussed in light of these results. It is argued that the total amount of opening has been considerably less than the amount predicted by matching the coastlines.
