Abstract

Twenty-two slope-corrected bathymetric profiles of the Mendocino Ridge between 125°W and 129°W are presented, and the method of their development is discussed. The crest of this Ridge lies at an average depth of 2000 m, falling off to 3200 m on the north and to 4400 m on the south. A short, steep scarp, fresh dredge-haul material lacking manganiferous crusts, and earthquake epicenters suggest recent faulting on the north....
