The Juan de Fuca and Gorda plates are moving east-northeast, subducting under the North American plate at a much slower rate of 2.5 to 3 cm per year. [6] Because the ridge is divided into three distinct parts, each section has its own spreading rate, caused by the slab-pull and ridge-push of the surrounding tectonic plates .
Gonâve microplate showing main fault zones.. The Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ or EPGZ) is a system of active coaxial left lateral-moving strike slip faults which runs along the southern side of the island of Hispaniola, where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located. [1]
In the context of plate tectonics, strip-slip movement of the Tintina Fault is also related to strike-slip movement along the San Andreas Fault and other extensional or strike-slip fault systems of western North America. To the west, the Denali Fault is the source of minor earthquakes that extend along the length of the fault. [11]
The zone includes most of the islands of Vanuatu, the Santa Cruz islands of the southern Solomon Islands, [4] and the Loyalty Islands.A number of ocean floor features are related to the zone, in particular the New Hebrides Trench (South New Hebridies Trench) [5] and the North New Hebrides Trench (Torres Trench) which is separated from the southern trench by the d'Entrecasteaux Ridge and the ...

The GTJ does not form a typical ridge–ridge–ridge triple junction. In plate collision, this would be the "perfect" scenario. Divergent and convergent plate boundaries can form ridges, trenches, and/or faults. The shortened R, T, and F are used to symbolize when put together what kind of structures are formed on the plate boundaries. In ...
