Anomalous seafloor spreading of the Southeast Indian Ridge near the Amsterdam-St. Paul Plateau

The Amsterdam‐St. Paul Plateau is bisected by the intermediate‐rate spreading Southeast Indian Ridge, and numerous geophysical and tectonic anomalies arise from the interactions of the Amsterdam‐St. Paul hotspot and the spreading center. The plate boundary geometry on the hotspot platform evolves ra...

Description
Summary:The Amsterdam‐St. Paul Plateau is bisected by the intermediate‐rate spreading Southeast Indian Ridge, and numerous geophysical and tectonic anomalies arise from the interactions of the Amsterdam‐St. Paul hotspot and the spreading center. The plate boundary geometry on the hotspot platform evolves rapidly (on timescales
