TL;DR
New seismic data from the Arctic Ocean's Gakkel Ridge show a deep fault linked to how the Earth's lithosphere grows in this area.
Contribution
The study identifies a deep-seated fault at the Gakkel Ridge connected to an incipient detachment fault.
Findings
A deep-seated fault was identified at the Gakkel Ridge using microseismic data.
The fault is likely linked to an incipient detachment fault.
This finding helps explain the ridge's segmentation and lithospheric accretion processes.
Abstract
New on-site microseismic data reveal a deep-seated fault at the Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean, which is likely linked to an incipient detachment fault that controls the ridge’s segmentation.
