Depth and age in the Cayman Trough - ScienceDirect
1986年8月1日 · Caribbean plate boundaries are almost everywhere either strike-slip or convergent, so oceanic crust accreted at the spreading axis within the Cayman Trough provides information critical to determining the relative motions and tectonic interactions among the Caribbean and surrounding plates.
Considerable crustal thickness variations are inferred along Cayman Trough, a slow-spreading ocean basin in the Caribbean Sea, from modeling of the gravity field. The crust to a distance of 50 km from the spreading center is only 2–3 km thick in agreement with dredge and dive results.
