Microseismicity Indicates Atypical Small-Scale Plate Rotation at the Quebrada Transform Fault System, East Pacific Rise

Jianhua Gong et al.

Summary: This study investigates the unique Quebrada system, a multi-strand RTF system on the East Pacific Rise. Through seismic observations and analysis, it reveals the complex seismic activity and possible heterogeneous rotations within the Quebrada system. The evolution of multi-strand RTFs is possibly influenced by strong local thermal and fluid effects, while the RTFs may regulate regional tectonics and form an intricate feedback system.

Impact of Spreading Rate and Age-Offset on Oceanic Transform Fault Morphology

Yu Ren et al.

Summary: Oceanic transform faults (OTFs) are an integral part of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics. A new study has systematically quantified the variations in transform morphology and their dependence on spreading rate and age-offset. The research found that the length, width, and depth of OTFs are more systematically correlated with age-offset than spreading rate. This supports recent geodynamic models that propose cross-transform extension scaling with age-offset as a key process in transform dynamics. Furthermore, OTFs with larger age-offsets tend to have longer, wider, and deeper valleys on a global scale.

Extensional tectonics and two-stage crustal accretion at oceanic transform faults

Ingo Grevemeyer et al.

Summary: Oceanic transform faults, which were previously believed to be conservative two-dimensional strike-slip boundaries, are revealed to be more complex due to deeper seafloor along the faults than their associated fracture zones. Accretion at intersections between oceanic ridges and transform faults is asymmetric, with outside corners showing shallower relief and more extensive magmatism. This leads to a two-stage process of accretion at transform-fault systems, different from other regions along mid-ocean ridges.

Semibrittle seismic deformation in high-temperature mantle mylonite shear zone along the Romanche transform fault

Zhiteng Yu et al.

Summary: Oceanic transform faults, key components of plate tectonics, have been found to host a 10 to 15 kilometer-thick band of microseismicity in depths of 10 to 34 kilometers along the Romanche mega transform fault in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, associated with a high-temperature mantle. The presence of both shallow and deep earthquakes indicates that substantial deformation is accommodated in the semibrittle mylonitic mantle below the brittle lithosphere, with a rapid westward deepening of seismic activity suggesting strong lateral heterogeneity.
