Small non-overlapping offsets of the East Pacific Rise
Nature, 1986High-resolution bathymetric surveys1,2 of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) reveal that in addition to overlapping spreading centres (OSCs), the crest of the EPR is offset tiny amounts by smaller features. Recently, Langmuir et al. have shown that despite their subtle bathymetric expression, these small offsets, bends and kinks of the EPR, collectively ...

Abyssal hills, magnetic anomalies and the east pacific rise
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1967Abstract Long ridges and troughs are characteristic of the East Pacific rise off North and Central America. The trends of the topography are parallel to the trends of magnetic anomalies but are not specifically related. Locally the topography, like the magnetic anomalies, shows a gross symmetry and the sea floor spreading hypothesis could account for

Northern East Pacific Rise: Magnetic anomaly and bathymetric framework
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1982The oceanic crust in the eastern Pacific between 7°N and 30°N and east of 127°W contains a fairly complete history of the spreading centers associated with the East Pacific Rise since 25 m.y. B.P. (late Oligocene). In this paper, we have summarized the seafloor spreading magnetic‐anomaly data and the bathymetric data that reflect the record of this ...

The East Pacific Rise and the thermal model
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1983Although the thermal mode of lithosphere cooling can be used to predict the East Pacific Rise topography reasonably well, it does not adequately predict the observed gravity when the zero temperature boundary condition is at the seafloor. The misfit arises primarily because this model predicts thermally lowered densities in the crust at the rise axis ...

Origin of metalliferous sediments from the East Pacific Rise
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1973Abstract The distribution of several metals in East Pacific Rise sediments, when normalized to Al2O3, exhibit stronger maxima near the rise crest than when simply plotted on a carbonate-free basis. The similarity (1) between the distribution of metals in ridge sediments and previously measured mean heat flow values and (2) between the composition of ...
