Abstract:The Alpha-Mendeleev Rise is located in the Amerasia Basin. The work is based on a synthesis of interpretation of regional 2D MCS seismic profiles and data from rock sampling using special underwater vehicles on the slopes of seamounts. The Rise is represented by alternation of highs (horsts) and half-grabens. At the base of the horst cover, bright reflectors are distinguished, which are interpreted as volcanics. Half-graben sections are wedge-shaped and are similar in geometry to seaward-dipping reflectors (SD… Show more
