The Macquarie triple junction is located on the seafloor of the southern region of the Pacific Ocean, just south of New Zealand. This tectonic boundary was named in respect to the nearby Macquarie Island, which is located southeast of New Zealand.

Dec 20, 2022 · A major change in plate motion triggered the development of the Macquarie plate at ca. 6 Ma and makes clear the recent evolution of the MTJ, including (1) shortening of the Southeast Indian Ridge segment; (2) formation of the westernmost Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, which increased its length over time; and (3) lengthening of the two transform ...

The Pacific, Antarctic, and Macquarie lithospheric plates diverge from the Macquarie Triple Junction (MTJ) in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, south of Macquarie Island. Morphobathymetric, magnetic, and gravity data have been used to understand the

Apr 1, 2004 · We first examined the predicted fit of magnetic anomalies and fracture zones between the George V FZ and the Macquarie Triple Junction (MTJ).

Key findings demonstrate that the adaptations of oceanic lithosphere are influenced by the age and thermal state of the crust, providing insight into the evolution of transform faults and their response to tectonic reorganization.

and Macquarie Triple Junction of the Australian-Antarctic-Pacific plates. By inspecting the high-resolution shipboard multi-beam bathymetric data newly acquired in the study area, we detected 20 individual seamounts. The volcanic lineament runs parallel to …

Feb 1, 2023 · Morphobathymetric, magnetic, and gravity data have been used to understand the evolution of the three accretionary/transform boundaries that meet at the MTJ. Plate velocities, estimated near the...

Mar 25, 1998 · MTJ — Macquarie Triple Junction. The region within the box represents the epicentral area of the main shock and its aftershocks. The ∼ E–W trending line within it represents both the ruptured portion of the main fault (solid line) and its inferred extension to the west and east respectively (dotted line).
