Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic growth faults and the origin of Pacific abyssal hills
TL;DR: Submersible-based investigations show that Pacific abyssal hills are created on the flanks of the East Pacific Rise as horsts and grabens which lengthen with time as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sea Beam, SeaMARC II and ALVIN-based studies of faulting on the East Pacific Rise 9°20' N 9°50' N
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of Sea Beam bathymetry and SeaMARC II side-scan sonar data was conducted to make quantitative measures of the contribution of faulting to the creation of abyssal hill topography on the East Pacific Rise (EPR) 9°15′ N−9°50′ N. The authors concluded that fault locations and throws can be confidently determined with just Sea Beam and SeaMar-II based on a number of in situ observations made from the ALVIN submersible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small off-axis volcanoes on the East Pacific Rise
TL;DR: A study of Sea Beam bathymetry and SeaMARC II side-scan sonar data allows a quantitative measure of the contribution of off-axis volcanism to the creation of abyssal hill topography on the East Pacific Rise (EPR) 9°15′N-9°50′N as mentioned in this paper.
