The present study reveals several unexpected results that can be summarized as follow.First, the high-resolutionbathymetry highlights the trace of a major fault strand through Izmit Bay that is more linear than previously thought. Second, vertical motion is ...

In this paper the submerged portions of the North Anatolia Fault system beneath the Marmara Sea were studied with high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, subbottom profiling and sediment cores. The major objectives were to learn about the seismic and tectonic ...

<p>Samples from two adjacent and contrasting ridge segments along the East Pacific Rise were measured for their magnetic paleointensity in order to further explore the possibilities of dating very young volcanic samples using secular variations in the Earth's ...

With the emergence in the 1980's of multibeam bathymetric systems, comprehensive two-dimensional maps of the seafloor became available that changed our view of the midocean ridges. Multibeam bathymetry reveals a fine-scale segmentation of the ridge axis, with ...

<p>The axial high of the East Pacific Rise is bounded by ridge-parallel lateral grabens that develop 2-8km off axis. The authors of this article report the results of analog experiments performed inn order to constrain the tectonic-magmatic evolution of the ...

<p>This paper is about submarine volcanism. More specifically Near the Mantle Electromagnetic and Tomography (MELT) Experiment, seamounts form and off-axis lava flows occur in a zone that extends farther to the west of the East Pacific Rise than to the east, ...
