Seafloor Mapping

Magma-induced tectonics at the East Pacific Rise 9°50’N Evidence from high-resolution characterization of seafloor and subseafloor
At fast-spreading centers, faults develop within the axial summit trough (AST; 0 to 250 m around the axis) primarily by diking-induced deformation originating from the axial magma lens (AML). The formation of the prominent abyssal-hill-bounding faults beyond the axial high (>2,000 m) is typically associated with the unbending of the lithosphere as it cools and spreads away from the AST.
