  • Magma plays a key role in the rifting and breakup process of passive continental margin. Up to 10 km thick high velocity lower crust (HVLC) developed in the northeastern margin. Long term controversy toward its formation mechanism makes the margin classification difficult. In order to analyze the rifting and breakup mechanism of the SCS conjugate margins, this paper reviews the recent research progress of global margins, based on which the crustal structure and magmatic activity of the SCS are summarized. It is concluded that large amounts of magmatic activity occurred in the SCS with discrepancy between the eastern and western margins. The HVLC is thicker in the east and thinner or even absent in the west. It is speculated that the HVLC is of syn-rift underplating. According to the crustal structure and the amount of underplated magma, we suggest that the passive continental margin can be divided into 5 subclasses. The eastern continental margin of the SCS is of magma-robust type, and the middle and western margins are of magma-intermediate and magma-deficient types, respectively.In addition to the stretching rate, plate-edge rifting in the east and plate-interior rifting in the west continental margin may also contribute to the large difference in the amount of magmatic underplating.
