Evidence for weak oceanic transform faults
[1] We present the results of a series of 3-D boundary element calculations to investigate the effects of oceanic transform faults on stress state and fault development at adjacent mid-ocean ridge spreading centers. We find that the time-averaged strength of transform faults is low, and that on time scales longer than a typical earthquake cycle transform faults behave as zones of significant we...
متن کاملCoupled seismic slip on adjacent oceanic transform faults
[1] In a four and a half hour period, more than 60 events in an earthquake swarm on the western boundary of the Easter microplate were detected by an array of ocean bottom seismometers. The larger events of the swarm were strikeslip earthquakes located on two transform faults separated by about 25 km. Slip on the faults was closely coupled, with activity alternating back and forth randomly betw...

متن کاملEvidence for Oceanic Control of Interannual Carbon Cycle Feedbacks
Large-scale carbon-cycle feedbacks within Earth’s climate system can be inferred from the statistical correlation of atmospheric CO2 and other climate observations. These statistical relationships can serve as validation targets for global carbon-cycle models. Fourier-transform coherence between atmospheric CO2 measured at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, and Hadley Centre global-average temperatures changed...
متن کاملThe oceanic phosphorus cycle.
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element to all life, being a structural and functional component of all organisms.1-4 P provides the phosphate-ester backbone of DNA and RNA, and it is crucial in the transmission of chemical energy through the ATP molecule (Figure 1). P is also a structural constituent in many cell components such as phosphoproteins, and phospholipids in cell membranes, teeth, an...
