Oblique Seafloor Spreading, the Malpelo Plate Hypothesis, and Cocos-Nazca-Pacific Plate Motion Circuit
… multi-resolution topography, we estimate new transform-fault azimuths along the eastern Cocos-Nazca plate boundary and show that the direction of relative plate motion is 3.3° ±1.8° (95% confidence limits) clockwise of prior estimates. The new direction of Cocos-Nazca plate motion is, …

Transform Faults, Fracture Zones, and the Kinematics of Horizontal Thermal Contraction of Oceanic Lithosphere
… and dissipated by young oceanic lithosphere. Transform faults provide the necessary free boundaries across which most of the contractional stresses can be dissipated by ridge-parallel contraction of the oceanic lithosphere. The strike of the transform faults, earlier predicted to be parallel …
