Scientific paper

Evidence for the existence of the Juan Fernandez microplate, just north of the junction between the East Pacific Rise and the Chile Fracture Zone, is adduced from the results of the Pascua 3 expedition. The 'SEABEAM' bathymetric system allows the plate fabric to be revealed along each swath. An analysis of faults, scarps, and submarine volcanoes is conducted for the entire Pascua 3 data set, and the results obtained furnish strong constraints for the kinematic model and geometry of the Juan Fernandez microplate proposed by Anderson-Fontana et al. (1986).
