Seamounts provide a unique record of volcanic processes in the oceans. In Pacific Ocean, where seamounts are especially abundant, understanding their age and spatial distributions offers valuable insights into tectonic history, melt-extraction processes, crustal provenance. However, detailed constraints on seamount formation history remain limited by sparse data age-dependent preservation, as older progressively lost to subduction.To address these challenges, we develop data-driven approach...

Understanding the elastic behavior of oceanic lithosphere is crucial for interpreting plate dynamics and rheology. While various methods exist to estimate lithosphere's ability deform under load, factors controlling this deformation across different tectonic settings remain poorly quantified.We present a three-stage analysis systematically evaluate controls on lithospheric flexure Western Pacific. First, we calculate suite metrics that characterize properties using gravity bathymetry data....

Abstract Core complex type structures are common in continental margins. Recent studies have proposed exhumation of deeper crustal and mantle levels during extension the margin along Northern South China Sea (NSCS) a core mode. Here, we present high‐resolution seismic profiles across different sections NSCS that allow us to observe two types systems. The Kaiping Rift eastern Baiyun characterized by sub‐horizontal Moho ductile crust beneath an extremely thinned brittle upper crust. central...

Abstract Sheath folds recognized on kilometer scale are rare and only described in salt tectonics seismic data. Here, we present mega‐sheath spectacularly imaged a 3‐D survey the basement flooring hyperextended Liwan subbasin northern margin of South China Sea. The sheath show eye structures delimited by anastomosing discontinuities. axial planes subparallel to rift‐related, extensional detachment surface separating from syn‐rift sedimentary sequence. as well discontinuities formed during...

Abstract At rifted continental margins, it has been widely reported that the amount of extension measured from faulting is less than one observed crustal and lithospheric thinning, referred to as “extension discrepancy.” Here, we use observations high‐resolution seismic reflection data over Baiyun Rift explore discrepancy between upper whole thinning factors when crust Northern South China Sea margin thinned 30 <10 km. We first restore rift system in absence post‐rift sediments water...

The volume of seamounts is an essential indicator the intensity mantle convection during evolution oceanic lithosphere. Drilling and dredging samples suggest volcanic are widely distributed in basin South China Sea, most them were formed after cessation seafloor spreading. By using SRTM15_PLUS Digital Elevation Model with a 15-arc-second grid, we developed spatial filtering method based on Top Hat Transform to extract seamounts. With combined analysis basalt dating results from previous...

Abstract Postspreading seamounts are unique built by volcanism after seafloor spreading had ceased. Limited understanding of their formation processes is mainly due to the lack investigation. Therefore, we conducted a three‐dimensional wide‐angle seismic experiment in Southwest Subbasin South China Sea and four profiles were acquired within inactive center over postspreading seamount. Based on ocean bottom seismometer data, report two‐dimensional velocity structures Longnan Our results show...

How detachment fault controls the basin subsidence at hyper-extended passive margin remains mysterious. Based on a detailed geological interpretation and backstripping 29 high-resolution multi-channel seismic profiles, we calculate basin-scale tectonic across Baiyun Rift to study relationship between faulting. Our results confirm that faulting is primary factor controlling syn-rift subsidence. A decaying rate, or deficit observed in eastern from early late Eocene, which marked contrast...

ABSTRACT It has long been established that plastic flow in the asthenosphere interacts constantly with overlying lithosphere and plays a pivotal role controlling occurrence of geohazards such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions. Unfortunately, accurately characterizing direction lateral extents mantle field is notoriously difficult, especially oceanic areas where deployment ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) expensive thus rare. In this study, by applying shear wave splitting analyses to dataset...

Abstract How seafloor spreading in marginal basins controls subsidence patterns continental margins under rift propagation settings remains poorly understood. Herein, based on detailed geological interpretation and backstripping of 37 high‐resolution multichannel seismic reflection sections, we calculate the Cenozoic tectonic across Dangerous Grounds (DG), South China Sea, order to study interactions between basins. Our results show that rapid occurred eastern (EDG) from Palaeocene early...

Basement highs (e.g., seamounts and ridges) often exist on subducted oceanic plates. However, their effects the deformation of accretionary wedges have not been well understood, in particular sequential cross‐sectional evolutionary processes caused by ridge subduction. To evaluate subduction wedges, analogue models were run to observe both plan views. The results show that induces an inverted‐U‐shaped uplifted area, while seamount always causes a circular area view. Both will result radial...
