King's Trough: reactivated pseudo-fault of a propagating rift
A compilation of magnetic data in the western North Atlantic shows that seafloor spreading magnetic anomalies 26 to 18 are dislocated across a (pseudo-) fault with a direction mirroring that of King's Trough. It is interpreted that this feature and King's Trough were formed by northward pr...
