Abstract: We present four companion digital models of the age, age uncertainty, spreading rates, and spreading asymmetries of the world's ocean basins as geographic and Mercator grids with 2 arc min resolution. The grids include data from all the major ocean basins as well as detailed reconstructions of back‐arc basins. The age, spreading rate, and asymmetry at each grid node are determined by linear interpolation between adjacent seafloor isochrons in the direction of spreading. Ages for ocean floor between the oldest … Show more

“…However, swath bathymetric data do not image the fracture zone as a spatially continuous morphologic feature. The region of the extrapolated trace of the CFZ based on oceanic plate ages and magnetic lineations (Yáñez et al 2002;Müller et al 2008) does not exhibit significant relief. In some areas (e.g.…”

“…The field area of this study, outlined in red, sits at the northern end of Chile directly under the Arica bend within a zone of relatively consistent slab age, volcanic distribution, subduction angle, distance from trench, convergence orientation, and morphology. Location of trench/plate boundaries and oceanic crustal ages are derived from the GPLATES global plate model (Müller et al, 2008; Seton et al, 2012). Locations of aseismic ridges, labeled and outlined in gray, are derived from the GEBCO global bathymetry model (Weatherall et al, 2015).…”
