dc.description.abstract | The axis of the East Pacific Rise is defined by a topographic block about 15 km wide and 300 to 350 m high which is flanked by abyssal hills 100 to 200 m high and 3 to 5 km wide. These hills often are tilted such that their steep slopes face the axis. An empirical model explaining these features combines axial extrusion to form the central block and rotational faulting to lower the shoulders of the axial block to the regional depth and tilt them outward. | en_US |
