Fig. 4: Comparison between seafloor depth predictions and observation.
From: Asymmetric seafloor depth across the Juan de Fuca Ridge caused by lithospheric heating
a Seafloor depth prediction with different subsidence coefficients C1. Global average = 350 m Myr −1/2, lower bound = 300 m Myr −1/2, upper bound = 425 m Myr −1/2. b Seafloor depth prediction and observation near the northern part of the JdF Ridge. Blue and yellow shaded areas represent predictions from the plate and thermal age, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of seafloor depth observation within each distance bin is shown with black error bars.
