Tectonics and mechanism of a spreading ridge subduction at the Chile Triple Junction based on new marine geophysical data

The Chile Triple Junction (CTJ), an RTT-type triple junction located at 46°13′ S, 75°48′ W off the western coast of Chile, is characterized by the subducting Chile Ridge, which is the constructive plate boundary that generates both the Nazca Plate and the Antarctic Plate. The ridge subduction mechan...
