(a) Topography, (b) teleseismic earthquakes (Mb>4), (c) age of oceanic crust, and (d) heat flow. Datasets are from multiple sources: topography (Weatherall et al., 2015), teleseismic earthquakes (USGS, https://earthquake.usgs.gov/), crustal age (Seton et al., 2020), heat flow (Lucazeau, 2019), and the digital MOR locations (Coffin et al., 1997).
