| During the STARMER programme the submersibles Nautile and Shinkai-6500 carried out 14 dives on the NS segment of the North Fiji Basin Ridge (Station 14 at 18-degrees-50 S). From structural point of view, two types of morphology appear: in the northern part, the axis is not tectonically well expressed hut the hydrothermal activity is important. in the southern part, a graben structure 150 m wide exists, with both a.fossil and a present-day hydrothermal activity. The station 14 shows a morphostructural variability of the spreading axis which can be related to the different stages of the volcanic and tectonic cycles. Another station explored at 19-degrees-S, a few kilometres to the south, confirms the fact that different stages of tectonic and magmatic... |
