Plate boundary reorganization at a large-offset, rapidly propagating rift

THE existence of rapidly spinning microplates along the southern East Pacific Rise has been documented by geophysical swath-mapping surveys 1–6 , and their evolution has been successfully described by an edge-driven kinematic model 7 . But the mechanism by which such microplates originate remains un...
