Seamount Evolution and Distribution of Young Seamounts along the East Pacific Rise between 20 N and 20 S.

Abstract

This project sought to understand the mechanisms involved in seamount evolution, including constructional volcanic processes, magma genesis, and tectonic and erosional modification of constructional terrain. To understand the relationships between seamount volcanism and temporal and spatial evolution of accretionary plate boundary structure and magmatic budget.
