Extended Data Fig. 9: Lack of unfaulting near an axial high.

From: Mid-ocean ridge unfaulting revealed by magmatic intrusions

Extended Data Fig. 9

a, Bathymetric map of the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise at 9° 30′ N, which—unlike every other ridge section studied here—features an axial high instead of an axial valley. White line indicates the location of the bathymetric transect. b, Bathymetric cross-sections with fault scarps highlighted in colour. c, Cumulative fault heave versus distance, with best-fitting piecewise linear function shown as black lines. In this case, T′ > T.
