Seismic Insight on Basement Structure of the Extinct Mid‐Oceanic Ridge in Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean
Abstract The most accepted theory for the formation of the Canada Basin is that it was created during 66° rotation of Arctic Alaska around the Euler pole located near the Mackenzie Delta sometime during the Mesozoic. Gravity and magnetic anomaly data are consistent with an extinct mid‐oceanic ridge (MOR) in the central basin.

Toward Reconstructing Mantle Convection Using a Minimum‐Continent‐Motion Reference Frame
Abstract Studying geodynamic processes at the plate‐mantle interface requires knowledge of how plates move over and subduct into the mantle. The absolute motion of plates relative to the mantle since ∼120 Ma is classically estimated using hotspot tracks.

Abstract The collision of continents typically leads to orogenesis as a result of crustal thickening and isostatic compensation. High topography is a main locus of precipitation‐fueled erosion, providing a feedback‐loop between tectonics, surface processes, and climate.

A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.
