Geomorphological and Geomorphometry of the East Pacific Rise Flanks.

1997

Lonsdale, Peter F.

A marine geophysical survey of the seafloor east and west of the rise crest ONR Natural Laboratory was used to interpret the geologic history that has determined the shape, structure, and pattern of the present East Pacific Rise axis, and to study the fates of crust after it leaves the axis. The emphasis of this work was on tectonic processes that modify the structure of young oceanic crust, and on quantifying the effects of these processes on seafloor roughness.
