Genovesa Submarine Ridge: A manifestation of plume-ridge interaction in the northern Galápagos Islands
[1] Despite its circular coastline and calderas, Genovesa Island, located between the central Galapagos Platform and the Galapagos Spreading Center, is crosscut by both eruptive and noneruptive fissures trending NE-SW. The 075 bearing of the fissures parallels that of Genovesa Ridge, a 55 km long volcanic rift zone that is the most prominent submarine rift in the Galapagos and constitutes the m...
متن کاملLate Holocene uplift of the Izu Islands on the northern Zenisu Ridge off Central Japan
To clarify the Holocene uplift history of the Izu Islands, Japan, we analyze the elevations and C ages of emerged sessile assemblages measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) on the islands of Niijima, Jinaijima, Shikinejima, and Kouzushima, on the northern Zenisu Ridge. The results suggest that uplift events took place after AD 1950 (uplift event 1), during AD 786–1891 (uplift event 2),...
متن کاملCorallivore Abundance and Biomass and Coral Reef Degradation in the Line Islands: Christmas Island, Fanning Island, and Palmyra Atoll
This paper seeks a relationship between corallivore abundance and biomass in the Line Islands and coral reef degradation/anthropogenic influence in these locales. Specifically, three randomly chosen sites at each of Palmyra Atoll, Fanning Island, and Christmas Island, were tested. Through six thirty-meter transects, abundance of predetermined Chaetodon and Labropsis were tallied and run through...
متن کاملKinematics and segmentation of the South Shetland Islands- Bransfield basin system, northern Antarctic Peninsula
[1] New GPS measurements demonstrate tectonic segmentation of the South Shetland Islands platform, regarded as a microplate separating the Antarctic Peninsula from the oceanic portion of the Antarctic plate. King George, Greenwich, and Livingston islands on the central and largest segment are separating from the Antarctic Peninsula at 7–9 mm/a, moving NNW, roughly perpendicular to the continent...
