Ridge segmentation and the magnetic structure of the Southwest Indian Ridge (at 50°30′E, 55°30′E and 66°20′E): Implications for magmatic processes at ultraslow‐spreading centers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the relationship between segmentation and the magnetic structure of the Southwest Indian Ridge and suggest that less frequent eruptions as the distance from the segment center and the length of these discontinuities increase, result in thinner extrusive lavas and thus control the along-axis magnetization variations by thinning the magnetic source layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aseismic zone and earthquake segmentation associated with a deep subducted seamount in Sumatra

TL;DR: In this paper, a seamount subducted to 40 km depth below Sumatra was associated with an aseismic zone, suggesting that at this location, the seamount reduces coupling of the slab and overriding plate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active thrusting offshore Mount Lebanon: Source of the tsunamigenic A.D. 551 Beirut-Tripoli earthquake

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used sonar swaths along the base of prominent bathymetric escarpments to reveal fresh, west-facing seismic scarps that cut the sediment-smoothed seafloor.

Active Thrusting Offshore Mount Lebanon: Source of the Tsunamigenic A.D. 551 Beirut-Tripoli Earthquake

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used sonar swaths along the base of prominent bathymetric escarpments to reveal fresh, west-facing seismic scarps that cut the sediment-smoothed seafl oor.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multi-sill magma plumbing system beneath the axis of the East Pacific Rise

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify a series of smaller magma lenses that help form the lower crust of the oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges, but it is unclear how the lower oceanic lower crust forms.
