Rigid plate accretion in an inter-arc basin : mariana trough
Mot-clé(s)
Histoire Ifremer
It is verified that an oblique rigid opening results in good fit of the rifted portions of arc on each side of the Mariana trough. The good fit suggests that there has been rigid plate accretion and that a plate 200km wide and 1500 km long can stay undeformed between active consuming and accreting plate boundaries.
