In the vicinity of DSDP Site 325, a detailed site survey shows a general northeast trend in topography and a buried fracture zone striking perpendicular to the topography. Four topographic highs are present in the northeast section of the survey area and may be related to the proposed fracture zone.The topography slopes gently to the northwest away from the Antarctic Peninsula and results from a decrease in sediment thickness to the northwest. The basement is relatively horizontal northeast of the fracture zone and rugged to the southwest. Magnetic lineations trend parallel to the topography, and displacement of the anomaly pattern indicates the presence of the fracture zone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
