Cyclic sealing and drainage on the Gofar Oceanic Transform Fault revealed

Oceanic transform faults are strike-slip boundaries—faults that move horizontally rather than up and down and connect offset ...

Study finds transform faults play active role in shaping ocean floors

Forces acting inside the Earth have been constantly reshaping the continents and ocean basins over millions of years. What Alfred Wegener published as an idea in 1915 has been accepted since the 1960s ...

Maximum observed earthquake magnitudes along continental transform faults

Continental transform faults evolve when two plates slide along each other. The most prominent examples are the San Andreas Fault in California and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. Earthquakes ...

Spreading rate dependence of gravity anomalies along oceanic transform faults

We analyse the residual mantle Bouguer gravity anomaly (RMBA) from 19 oceanic transform fault systems and their adjacent ridge segments at ultraslow- to fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges (Supplementary ...
