Fig. 6 Distribution of bending-related topographic structures. Red , blue , and black solid lines
represent landward- and oceanward-dipping escarpments, and ridges, respectively. Lightly shaded
areas are topographic heights as seamounts. Darkly shaded areas are above 5,600 m depth and
outline the outer swells. Barbed lines show the approximate location of trench axes with barbs on
the overriding plate. KFZ Kashima Fracture Zone
