Morphostructure of an incipient subduction zone along a transform plate boundary: Puysegur Ridge and Trench

Abstract:

Multibeam bathymetric and geophysical data reveal a major strike-slip fault that extends along the summit of the Puysegur Ridge east of the Puysegur Trench. The northward structural development of this ridge-trench system illustrates the evolution of an incipient subduction zone along a transform plate boundary that has been subjected to increasing transverse shortening during the past 10 m.y. -Authors
