Fragmentation continentale en cours dans la zone d'afforontement entre le continent Nord-Americain et la ride d'accretion oceanique du Pacifique Est (Mexique)
Marine geophysical surveys using Seabeam, single channel seismic reflection, gravity and magnetic profiling were conducted along the Acapulco Trench (21 degree 30'N-18 degree 00'N) during the Seamat Cruise of R/V Jean Charcot in June-July 1987. The surveyed areas are centered around latitude 18 degree N and 20 degree 30'N across the trench. Detailed surveying was also conducted at the East Pacific Rise (EPR) - Rivera Fracture Zone (RFZ) eastern junction. Unpublished bathymetric data of the Searise Cruise of R/V Jean Charcot conducted at the Western junction of EPR and RFZ in 1980 are also presented.
