Scientific paper

Seasat data for the area between 15 and 30 deg S and 115 and 130 deg W are analyzed to characterize the plate tectonics of the region, with a focus on the Miocene ridge jump and reorientation studied by Herron (1972), Mammerickx et al. (1980), and Okal and Bergeal (1983). The data are presented in graphs and maps and described in detail, and a model of lithospheric spreading since 40 Myr ago is developed which takes possible interactions between hotspot and ridge-system kinematics into account.
