In this work we have studied the space and time evolution of the Tristan hotspot and south Mid-Atlantic Ridge interaction system. The Tristan hotspot and its associated bathymetrical features (i.e. Walvis Ridge in the African plate and Rio Grande Rise in the South American plate) are ones of the mos...
