Negative Residual Topography in Global Back‐Arc Basins Scales With Slab Dip
Researchers measured the height of the seafloor in back-arc basins around the world after correcting for sediment, crustal structure and plate age, to work out how much of that height is due to deeper mantle processes. They found that most of these basins sit lower than expected, and this effect gets stronger where the subducting … Read more…
