A New Model for the Evolution of Oceanic Transform Faults Based on 3D Broadband Seismic Observations From São Tomé and Príncipe in the Eastern Gulf of Guinea

A New Model for the Evolution of Oceanic Transform Faults Based on 3D Broadband Seismic Observations From São Tomé and Príncipe in the Eastern Gulf of Guinea

Abstract Oceanic Transform Faults are one of manifestations of the three major plate boundaries and a key tectonic feature of oceanic crust. They are broadly considered to accommodate strike‐slip displacement along simple vertical faults and to be largely without magmatic addition. We present the fi...
