Evidence for unusually thin oceanic crust and strong mantle beneath the Amazon Fan

Evidence for unusually thin oceanic crust and strong mantle beneath the Amazon Fan

We used seismic and gravity data to determine the structure of the crust and mantle beneath the Amazon Fan. Seismic data suggest that the crust is of oceanic-type and is unusually thin (< ∼4 km) compared to elsewhere in the Atlantic. We attribute the thin crust to ultraslow seaffoor spreading...
