The Scarborough Seamount chain, present at the axis of the extinct South China Sea spreading center, is being subducted obliquely along the Manila Trench. A detailed Seabeam survey of this convergent zone reveals that the fabric of the ridge is characterized by N60°E trending normal faults and N130°E transform faults. This ridge can be traced into the forearc area. This could be interpreted as the result of underplating of ridge fragments which are accreted to the upper plate.
