Schematic cross sections A–D and their location on a 3D bathymetric view of the study area. On the sections, thick black lines mark the detachment faults and surfaces (dashed: abandoned); thin black lines, other faults. On the left, at the ridge axis, thin black lines symbolize dykes rising from transient magma bodies to volcanoes. Red triangles represent known hydrothermal systems projected on the section. Patterns indicate volcanics (horizontal dotted lines) and debris volcanics (random points).
