Figure 9.40. Temperatures ( ◦ C) near a transform fault with an age offset of 10 Ma
and a slip rate of 3 cm yr −1 . The half-spreading rate is 1.5 cm yr −1 . (a) A vertical cross
section through the ridge axis perpendicular to the fault; (b), (c) and (d) horizontal
cross sections at depths of 6.25, 12.5 and 25 km, respectively. (e) Anomalous
temperatures derived from (c) at 12.5 km depth. Note the different horizontal scale in
(e). (From Forsyth and Wilson (1984).)
