17 Bain FZ: Multiple new FZs under extension FZs re-combine under compression 34 21

19 Udintsev FZ, Pac-Ant Ridge Note: Transverse ridges

20 Also know as “J structures”

21 Pitman FZ, Pac-Ant Ridge Note: J structures and Transverse ridges

23 Hawaii: classic flexural bulge due to load of seamounts

24 Satellite gravity

25 Kuril Trench: classic example of flexure at a trench

26 Flexure cause by differential subsidence

27 Gravity anomalies due to flexure across fracture zones Udintsev FZ Eltanin FZ Menard FZ

28 Focal Depths: green 250 km Convergent Margins

29 KK&V Fig 9.1

30 ocean - ocean ocean - continent KK&V Fig 9.18 M&T

31 Focal Depths: green 250 km

32 Focal Depths: Green = 0 – 50 km Yellow = 50 – 250 km Red = > 250 km

33 Note: Collision of Ontong Java Plateau with trench around 15 Ma led to reversal of subduction “polarity” in SW Pacific Ontong Java Plateau
