intrusion and tilting (first tectonic phase) that post-dated
most of the basalts show SW—NE trends as the present
Reykjanes Ridge. Also the second tectonic phase shows
clear relationship to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and probably
means a major event in its history. Roth tectonic phases
of Iceland very likely represent major events in the his-
tory of the Scandic as a whole.
