Preliminary LIBEC/FAMOUS Cruise Results.
Abstract
Analysis of 4882 LIBEC(LIght BEhind Camera) photographs from the Project FAMOUS (French-American Mid-Ocean Undersea Study) median rift valley reveal linear features and bottom surface types. The distribution of the strike of linear fissures and steps on the flat valley floor tends to cluster at N-20 deg E the local strike of the valley. The high topography at the valley axis is dominated by thinly sedimented pillow lava on scarp shoulders and by talus on and at the base of steep surfaces. (Author)
