“…Microplates play a key role in plate reorganizations, like the reorganization now occuring along the southern East Pacific Rise (EPR), the world's fastest spreading mid-oce• ridge system [Hey et al, 1995]. Also, the developtrent and subsequent accretion of a microplate to a neighboring major plate may be one method by which In addition to the edge-driven model a variety of other possible models have been suggested for microplate kinematics.…”

“…The oceanic crust in the area spreads at rate of 149 km/Myr [32]. The average spreading rate between the Pacific and Nazca plates is close to 150 km/Myr [33,34]. Therefore, this region has the highest rate of crust formation in the Pacific Basin [10].…”

“…The reason for this criterion is that they acquired bathymetry from the GLORI-B side-scan sonar, which had good lateral coverage, but with less spatial resolution than multi beam bathymetry. A detailed presentation of ESC geotectonic setting along with data collection procedure is given in detail in [31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…In this sector the oceanic crust spreads at rate of 149 km Myr -1 (Martínez et al, 1997). The average spreading rate between the Pacific and Nazca plates is close to 150 km Myr -1 (Naar & Hey, 1986;Hey et al, 1995); and at latitude 28.5°S it is of 180 km Myr -1 according to Schilling et al (1985). Therefore this region has the highest rate of crust formation in the Pacific Basin (Rappaport et al, 1997;Hey et al, 2004).…”
