Abstract Combined analyses of deep tow magnetic anomalies and International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 349 cores show that initial seafloor spreading started around 33 Ma in the northeastern South China Sea (SCS), but varied slightly by 1–2 Myr along northern continent‐ocean boundary (COB). A southward ridge jump ∼20 km occurred 23.6 East Subbasin; this timing also was coeval to onset Southwest Subbasin, which propagated for about 400 southwestward from ∼23.6 ∼21.5 Ma. The terminal...

Abstract Coring/logging data and physical property measurements from International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 349 are integrated with, correlated to, reflection seismic to map sequence boundaries facies of the central basin neighboring regions South China Sea. First‐order interpreted, which Oligocene/Miocene, middle Miocene/late Miocene, Miocene/Pliocene, Pliocene/Pleistocene boundaries. A characteristic early Pleistocene strong reflector is also identified, marks top extensive...

We conducted detailed analyses of a global array trenches, revealing systematic intra- and intertrench variations in plate bending characteristics. The intratrench the Manila Mariana Trenches were analysed detail as end-member cases relatively young (16–36 Ma) old (140–160 subducting plates, respectively. Meanwhile, variability was investigated for additional trenches including Philippine, Kuril, Japan, Izu-Bonin, Aleutian, Tonga-Kermadec, Middle America, Peru, Chile, Sumatra Java Trenches....

The interaction between the Central Indian Ridge (CIR) and Réunion hotspot has significantly influenced formation of notable volcanic features in Ocean over past 60 million years, including Maldive ridge Chagos bank on Indian-Australian Plate, as well Mascarene Plateau, Mauritius Island, Rodrigues African Plate. Plate reconstruction results indicate that distances CIR have varied throughout geological history, transitioning from off-axis (65-40 Ma) to on-axis (40-20 back (20-10...

Extinct spreading ridges are globally widespread and crucial to understanding the lifespan of oceanic plates. Yet nature LAB beneath extinct remains enigmatic. In this study, we investigate structure SCS basin, where a ~700-km-long ridge system stopped at ~15 Ma. A 120 km long marine magnetotelluric (MT) transect perpendicular mid-ocean in southwest sub-basin was carried out September 2021. The electrical resistivity model reveals relatively low-resistivity layer depths 50-80 km, potentially...

ABSTRACT The climactic eruption of the Hunga volcano in Tonga 2022 profoundly impacted Earth's system. Subsequent to eruption, ongoing seismic activity vicinity raised concerns among local communities about volcanic hazards, highlighting gaps understanding post‐eruption processes. Focusing on concurrent and post‐eruptive events, this study analyses 11 earthquakes occurring within 3 months following using teleseismic data. Estimating magnitudes down M W 4.5, our relocation efforts pinpoint...

The Molucca Sea subduction zone, located between the southern Philippines and northeastern Indonesia, forms a U-shaped divergent double (DDS). Based on previous research, was initiated in Sangihe region at 20 Ma, followed by second Halmahera 10 Ma. However, mechanism of initiating resulting DDS remains unknown. In this study, we simulated series models presetting single zone with convergence continents to examine conditions for initiation DDS. By modifying parameters plate age, angle, rate....

Water is the most common volatile component inside Earth. A substantial amount of water can be carried down to interior Earth by subducting plates. However, how subducted evolves after slab breaks off remains poorly understood. Here we use data from a passive seismic experiment using ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) together with land stations determine high-resolution, three-dimensional structure Southwest Sub-basin (SWSB) South China Sea (SCS). At depths below 40 km, mantle shear velocity...

Abstract: The Laocheng granitoid pluton is located in the South Qinling tectonic domain of erogenic belt, southern Shaanxi Province, and consists chiefly quartz diorite, granodiorite monzogranite. A LA‐ICP‐MS zircon U‐Pb isotopic dating, conjunction with cathodoluminescence images, reveals that diorite were emplaced from 220 Ma to 216 Ma, while monzogranite was at ∼210 Ma. In‐situ Hf analyses show ε ( t ) values range –8.1 +1.3, single‐stage model ages 809 1171 are –14.5 +16.7 189 1424 These...

Because of the steep subduction a highly concave slab, researchers have characterized megathrusts under Marianas as among coldest and curviest plate coupling interfaces in various circum-Pacific zones. Seismic tomography indicates that heterogeneous underlying varies markedly its angle, velocity, flexure along strike dip, while their effects on thermal structure intraslab earthquake occurrence remain enigmatic. By incorporating 3-D MORVEL velocity state-of-the-art slab geometry into...

Abstract Beneath mid‐ocean ridges, mantle upwelling and decompression melting are fundamental processes contributing to the formation of oceanic crust. Previous geodynamic models have suggested that driven by separating plates can be intensified thermochemical buoyancy thickening aging lithosphere, resulting in thicker However, relative contributions these factors crustal accretion remain uncertain. We conducted numerical modeling three scenarios investigate this: (a) buoyant flow...
