ORIGIN OF THE LOUISVILLE RIDGE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ELTANIN FRACTURE-ZONE SYSTEM
- Abstract:
-
We have combined shipboard and Seasat altimeter derived data in an integrated geological and geophysical study of the Louisville Ridge; a 3500-km-long seamount chain extending from the Tonga trench to the Eltanin Fracture Zone. A break in the smooth trend of the ridge at latitude 37.5oS has been recognized in both bathymetric and altimetric data. The 40Ar-39Ar dating of rocks dredged either side of the break suggest that it is analogous to the bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain. Alth...
